ANALYSIS OF PRAGMATIC MEANING IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LITERARY TEXTS

Abstract

Pragmatics is a branch of linguistics that studies the context-dependent meanings of language. It examines how words and phrases acquire meaning and significance, and how they are used in social and cultural contexts. Pragmatic meaning analysis in English and Uzbek literature helps to understand the specific features of the texts, the author's intention and the reader's reception process. The meaning of language often depends on the context. In Uzbek and English literature, authors convey meaning to the reader by creating context in their works. For example, in Uzbek literature, folklore, traditions and customs are used as a context. The author's intention and purpose determine the pragmatic meaning of the text. In English literature, for example, in the works of Shakespeare, the author raises social and political issues through his characters, which allows the reader to think deeply. The reader's process of receiving the text is also an important part of pragmatic analysis. In Uzbek literature, readers often interpret the text through their own culture and experience, which can change the meaning of the text. Pragmatic analysis is expressed in many works in English literature. For example, in Shakespeare's Hamlet, through the character's inner struggle and monologues, the author shows the reader human emotions, doubts, and the decision-making process. Here, the context, the author's intention, and the reader's reception process are interdependent.
