Abstract

The Uzbek language is constantly evolving, reflecting social, cultural, and technological changes. One of the most prominent developments in recent years is the emergence of new trends in word formation and lexical creativity, including processes such as affixation, compounding, blending, and borrowing. These innovations enrich the lexicon, express new concepts, and reflect the dynamic nature of contemporary Uzbek, especially in media, literature, and digital communication. Recent studies show that neologisms and creative lexical formations play a crucial role in youth language, social identity, and modern communication practices [1,2]. Understanding these trends is essential for linguists, educators, and lexicographers in documenting language change and developing teaching and reference materials [3,4].
