In this given article we analyzed the linguistic features of word formation.

There are some similarities and differences between word formation system of Uzbek and English languages. In the article we tried to solve different problems of using affixes and to compare the resemblance and different sides typologically in formation of noun in English and Uzbek languages using the method of affixation. study some ways of word formation and to clarify the theme we presented a lot examples.

Key words: Compound words, classification of compounds, word formation, main ways, conversion, affixation, suffix, prefix,infix, derivative words, components, word stems, abbreviation.

It is clear that word-building is one of the main ways of enriching vocabulary. In contrast to word formation, word stems are mainly used as a building material in word addition. As a result of word formation and word attachment, new compound words are formed. They are formed by adding affixes to a whole compound word. Affixation According to Brussmann [2006], affixation is the process of word formation in which stem is expanded by the addition of an affix[p.25]. So, affixation is a morphological process whereby a bound morpheme (an affix) is attached to the base. Moreover, affix is added to the base form or stem of a word in order to modify its meaning or create a new meaning. Richards and Schmidt [2002] say that affixes are bound to form that can be added: 1) To the beginning of a word (prefix), usually inserted before the word. 2) To end of a word (suffix), usually inserted after the word. 3) Within a word (infix), usually inserted into a word[p.17]. In other words, affixation is divided according to the place they can add to the base. Prefix (affixes that precede the root), example un– as in unhealthy suffix (affixes that follow the root), example ly– as in happily and infix (affixes that are inserted within the root). In contrast, root is the morpheme in which the rest of the word is built. A base is any structure to which affix may be added. While stem is any base to which grammatical affix may be added.
They are formed by adding affixes to a whole compound word. (blue-eyed, dress-maker). But, nevertheless, the process of making such words is done, first of all, by adding cores. (blue + eye = blue-eyed, dress + make = dress-maker). So here the core becomes the main word-forming element of the compound word. There are four main ways of word-building in modern English: affixation, composition, conversion abbreviation [8]
