This article presents a comparative linguistic analysis of prefixal and suffixal derivational patterns in television discourse in English and Uzbek languages. The study investigates the morphological structure, semantic classification, and functional distribution of affixal units used in media terminology. Based on empirical data, the research identifies dominant derivational patterns, their frequency distribution, and semantic groupings. The findings reveal that English television discourse demonstrates higher morphological productivity in both prefixation and suffixation, while Uzbek television discourse relies more on borrowed affixes and communicative-functional derivation. Statistical analysis shows that spatial-relational prefixes (26%) and quality/state suffixes (28%) are the most dominant categories in English media terminology. The study further confirms that globalization and technological advancement significantly influence lexical adaptation and hybrid word formation in both languages. The results contribute to comparative linguistics, media linguistics, and terminology development studies.
