Main Article Content
Abstract
This article analyzes the pragmatic and stylistic features of the implementation of speech acts in the process of intercultural communication in English. The main attention is paid to how speech acts such as request, refusal, congratulations, requests, suggestions, and advice are expressed in English and their differences from their Uzbek equivalents. According to the research results, speech acts in English are usually expressed indirectly and in a polite form, which requires caution and cultural sensitivity in intercultural communication. Through discursive and comparative analysis methods, the importance of intercultural pragmatic competence for individuals studying English as a second language was substantiated. The article contains theoretical and practical recommendations for language teachers and translators.
