This study investigates the linguocultural features of the concept of "compliment" as a speech act in two distinct dramatic traditions: Oscar Wilde's canonical English comedy “The Importance of Being Earnest” (1895) and Said Ahmad's celebrated Uzbek play “Kelinlar Qo'zg'oloni” (1960). Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of speech act theory, politeness theory, and linguoculturology, the study identifies, classifies, and comparatively analyzes complimentary utterances extracted from both texts. Using a qualitative corpus-based approach, 58 complimentary exchanges were identified across both works and categorized according to their semantic domains, syntactic structures, pragmatic functions, and underlying cultural values. Results demonstrate that while both languages employ compliments as tools of social bonding and face-enhancement, they differ substantially in their thematic targets, formulaic patterns, gender dynamics, and the cultural norms that govern their use. English compliments in Wilde's text are characterised by irony, wit, and aesthetic self-performance, whereas Uzbek compliments in Said Ahmad's play reflect communal values, age-based hierarchy, and moral virtue. This study contributes to the growing field of contrastive pragmatics and offers implications for cross-cultural communication, literary linguistics, and the teaching of English and Uzbek as foreign languages.
