This paper systematizes quantitative markers in English and Uzbek within the functional-semantic field framework using a core-periphery model. It inventories grammatical, lexical and syntactic means of quantification, assigns them to the core, near periphery and far periphery based on paradigmatic and semantic criteria, and highlights typological asymmetries such as analytic versus agglutinative coding, as well as countability and determination gaps. The study employs componential semantic analysis, contrastive typology, corpus-informed observations and field modeling. The findings show that while the core layer is largely universal (numerals, number/plurality, basic quantifiers), peripheral zones exhibit stronger language-specific patterns, including Uzbek derivational and distributive morphology and English determiner-driven quantification. The model has implications for translation, corpus annotation and pedagogy.
