Annotatsiya

This study explores euphemistic strategies in English and Uzbek political discourse on social media platforms. Euphemisms serve as a linguistic tool to mitigate the directness of sensitive political content, allowing speakers to navigate delicate topics and avoid confrontation. By analyzing posts and comments from Twitter, Facebook, and Telegram channels, this research identifies key strategies employed in both languages, examines their cultural and pragmatic underpinnings, and compares the similarities and differences in usage. The findings highlight that while both languages utilize lexical substitution, circumlocution, and metaphorical expressions, cultural norms and political sensitivities heavily influence their implementation. This study contributes to a better understanding of cross-cultural political communication in digital spaces.
