CROSS-CULTURAL PRAGMATICS OF PRAISE IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LINGUISTIC CULTURES: AN ANALYSIS OF PAREMIOLOGICAL UNITS
Olimjonova, Moxinur
Abstract
This article studies the pragmatic features of praise in English and Uzbek linguistic culture based on paremiological units. Proverbs are important linguistic units that reflect the cultural experience, moral views, and communicative values of the people. During the study, the methods of expression of praise in Uzbek and English folk proverbs, their pragmatic functions, and linguocultural features were comparatively analyzed. The results showed that while Uzbek proverbs glorify collectivism, respect for elders, hard work, and moral purity as priority values, English paremiological units highly value individual success, experience, and practical thinking. The article explains the indirect and direct forms of praise from a pragmatic perspective.
