Comparative Analysis of Verb Relations in German and Uzbek Languages

Abstract

The aim of the study is to compare similarities and differences in the grammatical features and disagreement on the usage of verb voices in both Uzbek and German languages. Notably, although Uzbek operates under five types of verb voices, whilst German operates under three types of active, passive, and stative. This article discusses the transpositional characteristics that are found in the use of verb voices in the two languages. The results of the research show that in German, some verb voices such as the active voice have equivalent voices in Uzbek which can be the definite, reflexive, collective and superlative. The passive voice in Uzbek is also used for passive and stative voices in German languages. This work highlights both the evolution and similarity in the voice constructions between German and English, providing insight into the cross-linguistic grammatical phenomenon. The obtained data can be useful for increasing the accuracy of translations in the process of teaching German as a foreign language for Uzbek learners. Future work could examine more complex interactions between syntax and semantics in these languages.
