Adjoining is a variety of syntactical connection when the dependence of one word upon head word is expressed not morphologically but semantically (my room-my rooms, a small room-small rooms; читать лёжа, тихо сидеть, чересчур громкий, сапоги всмятку, скромно улыбающаяся; хушбўй гул, биринчи босқич, терилган пахта, тахта кўприк, қайси юрт). Adjoining in all three compared languages are divided into three types:

• 
  Attributive phrases (object and its feature, they can be expressed by different parts of speech: to be happy, to seem delighted, to stay calm, любящий сын, третьего числа, горький вкус, тоза сув, ўнта пиёла, келган меҳмон).
  
• 
  Objective phrases (action, feature and the object, in the relation of carrying out the action or feature: to live a miserable life, to smile a happy smile, to die a violent death, слушать музыку, встречаться с друзьями, похожий на деда, достойный награды, мактабда ўқимоқ, уйга бормоқ, боғ орқали кетмоқ).
  
• 
  Adverbial phrases (the way of the action / feature, its measure of the degree, time, place, reason: to drive slowly, to arrive in time, to travel north, работается по вечерам, дышать легко, купить втридорога, нарядный по праздникам, тез юрмоқ, берилиб тингламоқ).
  

The types of syntactic connection coincide in English and Native language phrases. All languages have combinations of a noun with its attribute, a verb with an object, an adverb with the headword expressed by a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. At the same time, there are some differences in the structure of attributive phrases.
In Russian and Uzbek, the adjunct of the attributive phrase (adjective phrase) is frequently expressed by an adjective. In the same cases, many English phrases are made up of two nouns.
One of the reasons for that is the fact that there are fewer relative adjectives in English. Therefore, when the kernel and the adjunct denote two connected objects (e.g. the thing and the material it is made from; the factory and the product made by it, etc.) the English-speaking person uses a noun as an attribute.
E.g. silver spoon - серебряная ложка – кумуш қошиқ
sugar industry - сахарная промышленность – шакар саноати
Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether the adjunct in such phrases is a noun or an adjective. Lack of grammatical markers of the parts of speech makes English similar to the isolating languages. Sometimes it is difficult to say whether such combinations are phrases or compound words.
e.g. schoolboy, school-teacher, school building
In these cases, English has some features of incorporating languages, which don’t have a borderline between the word and the phrase.
Some types of phrases cannot be found only in one of the languages.
In English and Uzbek, the adjunct of an attributive phrase can be expressed by a passive infinitive.
E.g. a letter to be sent, юбориладиган хат.
This type of phrase in non-existent in Russian. The idea is rendered by a subordinate clause.
E.g. письмо, которое нужно отослать
In Russian, the adjunct of an attributive phrase can be expressed by an adverb.
E.g. взгляд исподлобья; шапка набекрень
This type of phrase in non-existent in English. The idea is rendered by lexical semantics.
E.g. a scowl at somebody, with one’s hat on one side
b) The English and the Russian and the Uzbek languages differ significantly in the means of expressing syntactical connections in a phrase. In Russian and Uzbek all the three ways of connection are used. In English, the use of government and agreement is restricted to the phrases with pronouns.
E.g. to see him; these books
In most cases the elements of the phrase are combined by adjoining.
In English attributive phrases denoting objects in numerical order, the adjunct expressed by a cardinal numeral is in postposition to the kernel expressed by a noun.
e.g.  Room 15
In the corresponding Russian and Uzbek phrases, the adjunct expressed by an ordinal numeral is in preposition to the headword.
e.g. пятнадцатая комната, ўн бешинчи хона.
