PRINCIPLES OF LINGUISTIC ECONOMY (ECONOMY OF LANGUAGE) IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK OFFICIAL SPEECH

Abstract

Abstract. The thesis investigates principles of linguistic economy in English and Uzbek official speech, focusing on how brevity is achieved without sacrificing legal precision and procedural transparency. The aim is to compare economy strategies across levels of language and across document genres. Methods combine contrastive linguistics, discourse analysis, and functional stylistics. The novelty consists in proposing criteria that separate acceptable economy (standardized compression) from risky economy (ambiguity-producing reduction).
