PRAGMATIC MECHANISMS OF OBLIGATION AND PROHIBITION VERBALIZATION IN COMPARATIVE LEGAL LINGUISTICS (ENGLISH-UZBEK CONTEXTS)

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the pragmatic mechanisms of obligation and prohibition verbalization in English and Uzbek legal discourse, utilizing a comparative-linguistic approach. The study elucidates the role of linguistic units in enforcing legal norms, their illocutionary force, and functional-semantic features based on international scholarly sources and theories. The author establishes linguistic divergences and universal regularities through a comparative examination of the pragmatic characteristics of normative documents in both languages.
