The present article demonstrates a comparative analysis of clitic morphemes in English and Kazakh languages. Clitics, according to the linguistic phenomenon, have a peculiar specificity as elements that do not have an independent lexical meaning but, at the same time, play a significant role in the construction of words and sentences. The purpose of the study is to determine the main types of clitic elements and their functional meaning in a sentence. The work makes an attempt to identify and classify the main elements of clitics in the linguistic context of two differently structured languages and describe their features. As a result of our research, similarities and differences were identified between the three main types of clitic morphemes (i.e., real clitics, semiclitics, and quasi-clitics) in the languages represented.
