Abstract
This article presents a systematic analysis of the processes of grammatical transfer and interference emerging as a result of linguistic contact between Uzbek and other languages. Language contact, particularly with English and Russian, has triggered notable grammatical changes in contemporary Uzbek. The paper examines various types of interference occurring at phonetic, morphological, syntactic, and lexical-semantic levels, supported by real-life examples. Bilingualism, code-switching, and structural transfer of language units are identified as the main mechanisms of interference, while the social and psychological factors behind these processes are also explored. Based on the findings, the study evaluates the evolving grammatical borrowings and normative shifts in modern Uzbek speech from a scientific perspective.
