Keywords:
Conditional mood, conditional sentence, subordinate clause, syntax, comparative linguistics, analytic form, synthetic form.Abstract
This article analyzes the syntactic features of expressing conditional constructions in English and Uzbek from a comparative-typological perspective. It examines the means of expressing conditional meaning in both languages, their grammatical structure, their position within complex sentences with subordinate clauses, and their morphological markers on a scientific basis. The analysis reveals that analytic devices predominate in English, whereas synthetic forms are mainly dominant in Uzbek.
