"COMPARING FUNCTIONAL STYLES IN UZBEK AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES"

This paper provides a comparative analysis of the functional styles in Uzbek and English, focusing on their linguistic features and cultural influences. It highlights how both languages adapt language use across various contexts such as literary, scientific, official, and colloquial domains. While Uzbek emphasizes formality, politeness, and metaphorical expressions rooted in its Turkic and Islamic heritage, English exhibits a broader stylistic flexibility influenced by its Germanic origins and global reach. The study enhances understanding of cross-cultural communication and offers insights for language teaching and translation.
