The given article dwells on the comparative analysis of morphological features of certain lexical units denoting aggression in Tajik and English. The study is grounded in the textual analysis of seminal historical novel by Sadriddin Ayni entitled as “Temur Malik – Tajik People’s Hero. Muqanna’s Rebellion” which provides a rich corpus of aggressive lexicon within a historical-military context. The analysis reveals that while both languages utilize a combination of native roots and borrowed affixes to express aggressive semantics demonstrating a higher propensity for derivational complexity using the word-building elements in the comparative languages. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the morphological realization of aggression is deeply influenced by the typological characteristics of each language.
