SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF NUMBER IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

Annotation: Language scientists refer to a grammatical category that distinguishes between singular and plural nouns as "number" in their terminology.  A noun can be used to refer to one or more entities depending on its categorization. Numerous languages have the idea of number, and nouns can change their forms to reflect solitary or plural meanings. To guarantee appropriate agreement with other elements of speech in a sentence, it is essential to understand and apply numbers correctly.  The purpose of this paper is to examine the opinions of Uzbek and English language researchers on this linguistic idea.  We seek to assess and highlight the distinctions and parallels between the terminology and approaches used in the two languages' literature by looking at pertinent theories and offering examples from each language.
