This article is devoted to the study of the word-formation
features of marketing terms in modern English. The relevance of the
topic is explained by the rapid development of marketing vocabulary
in the context of globalization, as well as the active process of
assimilation and adaptation of terms in national languages, in
particular, in the Uzbek language. The work examines the main ways
of term formation and structural models - affixation, conversion,
word addition, compression, abbreviation, as well as the specific
aspects of semantic changes in their transition from common
vocabulary to terminological vocabulary.
In the article identifies the historical and linguistic factors of
the formation of English financial and economic terminology,
emphasizing the influence of Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and
German, as well as the Russian language as a mediator in the
formation of Uzbek economic terminology. In the Russian language,
special attention is paid to the analysis of complex (composite)
marketing terms, often expressed through phrases or descriptive
expressions. The article examines in detail word-formation models
such as adjective + noun (backlist, broadsheet), noun + noun
(automaker, bangtail), preposition + noun (aftermarket, offshore),
verb + adverb (buyout, giveaway), and provides examples of their
usage and etymological explanations. Based on a comparative
analysis, the author concludes that the structure of English terms is
not uniform and they have their own functional features in the
marketing language. The research material shows that the
development of the marketing terminological system reflects the
general trends of the lexico-semantic dynamics of the English
language and is characterized by the interrelationship of internal and
external word-forming factors.
