Abstract

This study investigates the structural and derivational features of recreational place names in English and Uzbek, focusing on simple, derived, and compound toponyms. These place names are not only geographical identifiers but also encode the historical, cultural, and ethnolinguistic heritage of a nation. By analyzing and classifying the names of resorts in both languages, the research identifies typological similarities and differences in the formation of toponyms. The study utilizes descriptive and comparative linguistic methods, drawing on theoretical insights from leading scholars in toponymy. The results reveal that pleace names in both languages exhibit diverse lexical-semantic and morphological patterns, influenced by sociocultural and environmental factors. The article introduces the term "recreatonym" as a linguistically significant category within toponymy, providing a new lens through which such names can be understood.
