        <p>This paper investigated quantifiers in the Uzbek language, focusing on floating quantifiers, numerals, and the differences between floating quantifiers and determiner quantifiers. It raises the question of whether floating quantifiers in Uzbek appear in the position of adverbs by default or whether they are stranded when their complement moves to Spec-IP. Furthermore, this study examines the structure, classification, and distribution of quantifiers in Uzbek. It also discusses the derivation of genitive and double-case quantifiers. A key question addressed is whether Uzbek quantifiers are derived through A-movement or A‘-movement. As a result, it can be observed that quantifier floating appears as a combination of DP within GEN and DCQ structures, whereas AQ does not exhibit floating properties. Ordinary quantifiers are always adjuncts within DP. Based on the discussion above and derivations from partial and double DPs, the structure of floating quantifiers in Uzbek is internal and involves A‘-movement. Further research is needed to determine whether Uzbek floating quantifiers are stranded or function adverbially.</p>

        <p>В статье исследуются квантификаторы в узбекском языке с особым вниманием к плавающим квантификаторам и числительным, а также к различиям между плавающими квантификаторами и детерминативными квантификаторами. Рассматривается вопрос о том, занимают ли плавающие квантификаторы в узбекском языке по умолчанию адвербиальную позицию или же они остаются «осиротевшими» при перемещении их комплемента в позицию Spec-IP. Анализируются структура, классификация и распределение квантификаторов, а также деривация генитивных и двойных падежных квантификаторов. Центральный вопрос — выводятся ли узбекские квантификаторы через A-перемещение или A‘-перемещение. Показано, что quantifier float наблюдается в структурах GEN и DCQ как комбинация DP, тогда как AQ не демонстрирует свойств «плавания». Обычные квантификаторы выступают как адъюнкты внутри DP. На основании обсуждения и дериваций из частичных и двойных DP делается вывод, что структура плавающих квантификаторов в узбекском языке является внутренней и связана с A‘- перемещением. Для уточнения — являются ли они результатом stranding или функционируют адвербиально — требуются дальнейшие исследования.</p>

        <p>Ushbu maqolada o‘zbek tilidagi kvantorlar tahlil qilinib, suzuvchi kvantorlar, son kvantorlari hamda suzuvchi kvantorlar bilan determinant kvantorlar o‘rtasidagi farqlar muhokama qilinadi. Tadqiqotda o‘zbek tilidagi suzuvchi kvantorlar odatda ravish pozitsiyasida paydo bo‘ladimi yoki ularning komplementi Spec-IP ga ko‘chganda ajralib qoladimi, degan savol ko‘tariladi. Shuningdek, mazkur ishda o‘zbek tilidagi kvantorlarning tuzilishi, tasnifi va taqsimoti o‘rganiladi hamda egalik (genitiv) va ikki kelishikli kvantorlarning hosil bo‘lish jarayoni tahlil qilinadi. Tadqiqotning asosiy masalalaridan biri o‘zbek tilidagi kvantorlar A-harakat orqali hosil bo‘ladimi yoki A‘-harakat orqali shakllanadimi, degan savoldir. Natijalar shuni ko‘rsatadiki, kvantor suzishi asosan GEN va DCQ konstruksiyalarida DP bilan bog‘liq holda / yuzaga keladi, holbuki AQ konstruksiyalarida suzish xususiyati kuzatilmaydi. Oddiy kvantorlar esa doimo DP ichidagi adjunct sifatida namoyon bo‘ladi. Yuqoridagi muhokamalar hamda qisman va ikki DPlardan kelib chiqadigan derivatsiyalarga asoslanib, o‘zbek tilidagi suzuvchi kvantorlarning tuzilishi ichki xususiyatga ega bo‘lib, A‘-harakat bilan bog‘liq ekanligi aniqlanadi. Kelgusida o‘zbek tilidagi suzuvchi kvantorlarning stranding hodisasi asosida yuzaga keladimi yoki adverbial xususiyatga ega ekanligini aniqlash uchun qo‘shimcha tadqiqotlar talab etiladi.</p>
