REPRESENTED SPEECH COMPARED IN ENGLISH, RUSSIAN, AND UZBEK: COGNITIVE AND CULTURAL ASPECTS

This thesis explores the phenomenon of represented speech across three languages—English, Russian, and Uzbek. It highlights cognitive and cultural dimensions that shape and influence the use and perception of represented speech. Through a comparative analysis, the study examines the structural, functional, and contextual differences in how represented speech is realized in these languages. The findings aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of linguistic diversity and the interplay between language, cognition, and culture.
