WORD FORMATION ANALYSIS IN DENDRONYMS: A CASE STUDY OF THE GERMAN AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

This article is dedicated to the morphological, semantic, and toponymic analysis of dendronym formation in Uzbek and German languages. Dendronyms — place names derived from tree or plant names — reflect national linguistic mentality and cultural identity. The paper outlines the affixal, compositional, and semantic derivation methods using concrete examples, and provides a comparative overview of both language structures.
