Abstract

Abstract 
This article provides a comparative analysis of the linguopragmatic properties of 
onomatopoeia in English and Uzbek. The study examines the phonetic, morphological, 
and semantic aspects of imitative words in the two languages, as well as their use in 
sociocultural contexts. The results of the study, conducted using corpus linguistics and 
sociolinguistic methods, showed that onomatopoeia in English are more common in 
short and isolated forms ("pop", "bang"), while those in Uzbek are more common in 
repetitive and rhythmic forms ("gʻir-gʻir", "shov-shov"). In addition, it was found that 
onomatopoeia in English is used mainly in the media and advertising, and in Uzbek in 
folklore and everyday speech. The results of the study are of practical importance in 
improving  language  teaching  methods,  translation  theory,  and  intercultural 
communication. The article analyzes the role of onomatopoeia in language culture and 
the mechanisms for expressing national worldviews through them. It is recommended 
to conduct research in this area from the perspective of cognitive linguistics in the 
future.
