EXPRESSION OF HOSPITALITY RELATED SPEECH ACTS IN THE NOVEL “O‘TKAN KUNLAR” BY ABDULLA QODIRIY

Abstract

This article explores the linguistic expression of national hospitality traditions through the lens of Abdulla Qodiriy’s masterpiece, the novel “Days Gone By” (O‘tkan Kunlar). At the center of this research is a linguopragmatic analysis of takalluf (ceremonial politeness), honorific addresses, and face-saving strategies employed in the dialogue between characters. The article is intended for philology students, linguists, and those interested in Uzbek communication culture. It sheds light not only on the lexical meanings of linguistic units but also on their pragmatic functions within socio-cultural contexts
