COMMUNICATIVE ASPECT OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF UZBEK AND ENGLISH POLITICAL DISCOURSES

This study provides a comparative investigation of the communicative dimensions of political discourse in Uzbek and English-speaking cultures. This study examines the rhetorical and linguistic methods employed in the speeches of the presidents of the United States and Uzbekistan to engage, influence, and shape public opinion. speech analysis indicates that Uzbek speech prioritises collectivism, tradition, and cultural heritage, whereas English discourse underscores individualism and direct communication. The research utilises Austin's (1962) theory of performative utterances and Searle's (1969) speech act theory to illustrate that language delivers information while simultaneously fulfilling political roles.
