Functional-Pragmatic Features of Verbal Aggression in English And Uzbek

This article provides a comprehensive comparative-pragmatic analysis of verbal aggression and face-threatening acts in the English and Uzbek languages. Moving beyond descriptive analyses of affective vocabulary, the study synthesizes classical lexicological and stylistic theories with modern pragmatic frameworks to examine how communicative dominance and manipulation are linguistically encoded. By strictly analyzing the functional-semantic fields, syntactic models, and phraseological units that carry negative evaluative charges, the research highlights the profound linguocultural specificities of the two languages. The findings indicate that English conflict discourse predominantly employs strategies protecting individual autonomy (negative face) through structural indirectness or rigid imperatives. In contrast, the Uzbek language utilizes socially hierarchical, collectivistic models relying on metaphoric transfers and culturally bound optative formulas, aligning with national-cultural pragmatic codes.
