Abstract
This article explores the gender characteristics of the modesty maxim in English and Uzbek languages, illuminating the sociolinguistic implications that arise from cultural differences. The modesty maxim, a component of politeness theory, reflects how speakers present themselves and manage social interactions. By contrasting the linguistic features and cultural contexts of both languages, the paper aims to provide insights into the interplay between language and gender, contributing to a better understanding of cross-cultural communication.
