PRAGMATIC FEATURES OF PREDICATE IN UZBEK AND ENGLISH LITERATURE

Abstract

Annotation: The study of predicates from a pragmatic perspective explores how the choice and structure of predicates reflect communicative intentions and social interactions within different linguistic and cultural contexts. This article compares and contrasts the pragmatic features of predicates in Uzbek and English literature, focusing on how predicates function in conveying meaning, emotions, and social roles. Through a detailed analysis of examples from both Uzbek and English literary texts, the article highlights differences and similarities in how predicates are used to influence the reader's interpretation, establish narrative voices, and express attitudes. By examining the role of predicates in the interaction between the speaker, listener, and context, the paper contributes to a deeper understanding of how linguistic choices impact literary discourse across languages.
