A Comparative Study of Morphological Adaptation of English Loanwords in Korean And Karakalpak

This study explores the morphological adaptation of English loanwords in Korean and Karakalpak from a comparative perspective. In the context of globalization, English has become a major source of lexical borrowing, influencing both languages in different ways. The research is based on data from media, corpora, and dictionaries, comprising approximately 150–200 loanwords. The findings show that both languages employ affixation and hybrid formation to integrate English roots into their morphological systems. However, Korean demonstrates higher productivity and direct borrowing, while Karakalpak shows moderate adaptation often influenced by Russian. The study highlights the role of linguistic structure, cultural factors, and globalization in shaping morphological adaptation processes.
