а улиц
а широк
ая . Adjectives in short forms
perform the function of the predicate too: жизн
ь коротк
а . Adjectives
in short forms in the function of the predicate agree with the noun they
modify in gender and case: неб
о мутн
о - ноч
ь мутн
а .
In the English language adjectives don't possess short and long
forms. The same adjective is used both for the attribute and predicative
functions. This characteristic is found in the Uzbek language too.
According to the structure degrees of comparison in the Russian,
English and Uzbek languages are expressed both synthetically and
analytically : полный-полнее, старый-старше, тонкий-тоньше. As
we have seen in mentioned adjectives comparative degree is expressed
on the morphological level of the language synthetically by adding
affixal morphemes
-ее, -ей, -е, -ше . This way of adding affixal
morphemes to the stem of adjectives shows that it is a synthetical-
inflected means of uniting the root morpheme with the affixal one, as
the root morpheme changes its appearance by taking a required affixal
morpheme. Some adjectives in Russian form their comparative degree
analytically by the combination of the words
более, менее ( in these
combinations these words loose their lexical meaning at some extent
and they perform the function of analytical forms of expessing degrees
of comparison of adjectives) with the adjectives: более сильный,
менее удачный.
In the English and Uzbek languages the comparative degree is also
expressed on the morphological level of the language. But this kind of
synthetic expression of the comparative degree differs from the
synthetic expression of the comparative degree in the Russian language
greatly. In the Uzbek and English languages the way of adding the
affixal morpheme to the stem of adjectives is not synthetical-inflected
as it is in Russian, but it is synthetical- agglutinative. Because the root
morpheme doesn't change its appearance by taking affixal morphemes,
for example:
