Annotatsiya

Humour plays a crucial role in human communication, functioning as a pragmatic device for managing social interactions, expressing attitudes, and reinforcing cultural norms. This study explores the pragmatic functions of humour in English and Uzbek dialogues through a comparative analysis of two novels, “Bridget Jones’s Diary” by Helen Fielding and “Shum bola” by Gafur Gulom. Drawing on theories of pragmatics and linguocultural communication, the research reveals that humour in both languages serves to build solidarity, manage face, express indirect criticism, and relieve conversational tension. However, English humour is more self-deprecating and direct, whereas Uzbek humour tends to be metaphorical, indirect, and shaped by social hierarchy. The findings highlight humour’s universal pragmatic value and its culturally specific manifestations, offering insight into how language, culture, and context interact in humorous discourse.
