Structural Analysis of Frequently Used Legal Terms in Uzbek and English Newspapers

This study conducts a structural linguistic analysis of frequently used legal terms in The Law Society Gazette and Inson va Qonun, representing English and Uzbek legal newspapers respectively. The article explores the morphological, syntactic, and compound structures of legal terminology used in both languages, with a focus on newspaper discourse. Through corpus analysis and comparative methods, this research reveals that English legal terms predominantly feature complex nominal compounds and Latinate borrowings, while Uzbek legal terms rely heavily on analytic constructions and hybrid derivatives. The findings contribute to understanding how structural linguistic features shape legal communication and influence public accessibility of legal language.
