Abstract
This article explores how forms of address function in English and Uzbek, focusing on their connection to politeness, cultural tradition, and social hierarchy. The comparison examines how each language uses pronouns, titles, honorifics, kinship terms, and context-based strategies to express respect or social distance. Findings show that English tends toward egalitarian norms with a single universal second-person pronoun, while Uzbek maintains a more hierarchical system that reflects age and status differences. The analysis relies on major theoretical frameworks, including Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory and ;cross-cultural pragmatics.
