Abstract

This study explores the phonetic structure of loanwords in English and Uzbek, focusing on how each language integrates foreign lexical items into its phonological system. The research is based on qualitative comparison, highlighting the processes of sound substitution, stress adaptation, and phonotactic adjustment. The findings reveal both languages exhibit distinct strategies shaped by their unique phonological rules and historical influences.
