UZBEK AND CHINESE LANGUAGES: SEGMENTAL AND SUPERSEGMENTAL ELEMENTS
Downloads
This article compares the segmental and suprasegmental elements of the Uzbek and Chinese languages and analyzes their phonetic and phonological aspects. Segmental elements are the basic sound units, such as phonemes or syllables, that play a crucial role in the sound system of both languages. Uzbek is an agglutinative language with a large number of consonant sounds, where stress and intonation are significant factors. In contrast, Chinese is an isolating language in which tonality plays a leading role in syllable structure. Suprasegmental elements, including stress, intonation, and tones, exhibit considerable differences in the phonology of these two languages. This article explores the impact of these elements and examines their linguistic distinctions in depth.
