Abstract
The sociolinguistic parallels between the English and Uzbek realizations of the modesty maxim are examined in this article. The study looks at how cultural and linguistic norms in both languages use comparable discourse techniques to convey modesty, limit self-praise, and preserve social harmony, all while drawing on the theoretical framework of politeness theory. The impact of age, gender, and social status on the application of the modesty maxim is also covered. The study sheds light on the cross-cultural purposes of modesty and offers understanding of its universal yet culturally particular linguistic expressions.
