Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of the semantic, conceptual, and stylistic features of operator discourse in English and Uzbek. Drawing on pragmatics (Brown & Levinson), cognitive linguistics, genre and move analysis (Bhatia), and intercultural communication theories (Hofstede), the study examines how linguistic structures—such as hedging, modality, politeness markers, conceptual framing, and stylistic devices—shape communicative effectiveness in customer service interactions. Data include anonymized operator utterances in both languages. The findings reveal that English operator discourse prioritizes autonomy, neutrality, efficiency, and indirectness, while Uzbek operator discourse foregrounds interpersonal warmth, collectivist values, respect, and cooperative alignment. Semantic constructions emphasize benefits and clarity in English; personalization and emotional reassurance dominate in Uzbek. Conceptual structures differ across urgency, exclusivity, shared benefit, and trust. Stylistic devices show cultural patterns: English uses neutral global metaphors, gradation, and subtle indirectness, whereas Uzbek emphasizes expressive imagery, epithets, and culturally rooted emotionality. The study highlights the strong interplay between language, culture, and communicative function.
