PRAGMATIC FEATURES OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK
Abstract
This study investigates the pragmatic features of political discourse in English and Uzbek, focusing on how meaning is constructed, negotiated, and strategically deployed in public communication. Drawing on frameworks from pragmatics and critical discourse analysis, the research examines speech acts, implicature, politeness strategies, deixis, and presupposition in a comparative perspective. The data consist of twenty political speeches delivered between 2018 and 2024 by English-speaking and Uzbek political leaders. Using qualitative discourse analysis, the study identifies systematic similarities and differences in the realization of pragmatic strategies.
