Abstract
This study explores the contrastive analysis of politeness strategies in English and Uzbek, examining how each language employs different communicative methods to maintain social relationships and mitigate face-threatening acts. Using Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory as a framework, the research compares the strategies employed in both languages, focusing on indirectness, mitigation, and the use of honorifics.
