SYNTACTIC CLASSIFICATION OF COPULAR CONSTRUCTIONS IN UZBEK LANGUAGE
Öz
Syntagmatic relationships between constituents are encoded in different ways in different languages. Numerous studies have been carried out to reveal those varieties. Strategies to express certain grammatical constructions vary depending on the typological features of a given language. This study analyzes copular constructions in Uzbek and classifies them according to the elaborated strategy choices for encoding them. The study shows that election of strategy for marking the copular constructions is constrained by various factors, such as tense, aspect and polarity. Uzbek copula constructions vary intralinguistically, exhibiting features of zero copula construction, particle copula construction, and verbal copula construction. Cross-linguistic analysis has revealed certain similarities and differences between Uzbek and typologically different languages such as, English, Russian, and Spanish in terms of the type and function of the copula constructions. Uzbek copular constructions share similarities with Spanish copular constructions in expressing aspectual features, and with Russian in encoding non-overt copula constructions in the present tense.
