This study explores the formation and evolution of COVID-19-related terminology in English and Uzbek, focusing on their lexical, semantic, and cognitive-pragmatic characteristics. The purpose of the research is to analyse how new terms were coined and adopted during the pandemic in both languages, to identify similarities and differences in their lexical construction and usage. The main objectives include classifying the newly formed terms, understanding the influence of international and local factors, and comparing terminological adaptations across both linguistic systems. The problem lies in the limited comparative analysis of pandemic-related terminology in Uzbek and English, despite the global nature of the phenomenon. The methodology involved comparative linguistic analysis, semantic classification, and discourse analysis of media, governmental, and health communication texts from 2020 to 2023. The findings reveal that while English terminology heavily relies on medical and scientific neologisms, Uzbek adapts many of these through calques, borrowings, and native formations, often influenced by sociocultural context. The study concludes that despite many similarities due to globalization and shared scientific knowledge, notable differences reflect each language’s morphological structure and sociolinguistic environment.
