OCCASIONALISMS AND NEOLOGISMS IN LITERARY AND LINGUISTIC CONTEXTS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

This study investigates the phenomena of occasionalisms and neologisms within the Uzbek language, emphasizing their role in literary expression and lexical innovation. While both represent newly created words, occasionalisms are context-bound, individually crafted units used primarily for stylistic and expressive purposes, whereas neologisms gradually integrate into the general vocabulary. Analysis of Uzbek literary texts, particularly the works of Nazar Eshonqul, alongside English literary examples, demonstrates how occasionalisms enrich discourse with creative, expressive, and semantic novelty. The research highlights the distinctions, overlaps, and literary significance of these lexical phenomena.
