The article dwells on conjunctionalized connective words functioning in Tajik and Uzbek languages. The author differentiates the notion of "conjunctionalization" from some concurrent phenomena, she characterizes its principal features in the correlated languages. The process of transformation of adverbs into the category of connective words is determined irrespective of its being a preposition or a postposition as multiphased and complicated. Limitation of the ability of adverbs for conjunctionalization is confirmed, as not all semantic varieties are prone to the process of the former. It is pointed that Tajik and Uzbek languages differ from each other both in reference to the phenomena of proclitics and enclitics. The Uzbek language is characterized with the presence of the phenomenon of enclitics and the Tajik with that of proclitics. It is accounted for by the fact that enclities are formed by postpositions being inherent in the Uzbek language, while proclitics are formed by prepositions being inherent in the Tajik language.
