Annotation: This article examines the classification of loanwords in English and Uzbek languages, focusing on direct, indirect, hybrid, and semantic types of lexical borrowing. The study highlights the linguistic and cultural contact that shaped the vocabulary of both languages, analyzing how loanwords adapt phonologically, morphologically, and semantically. Using descriptive and comparative methods, examples from both English and Uzbek are provided to demonstrate how loanwords undergo structural and semantic changes. The research also discusses the influence of social and historical factors on borrowing processes. The findings contribute to understanding the dynamics of lexical enrichment and language contact phenomena.

Keywords: loanwords, borrowing, English, Uzbek, hybrid words, semantic change, linguistic contact.
