PRAGMATIC PROPERTIES OF ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS IN THE UZBEKISTAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

This article examines the pragmatic properties of additional morphological markers, particularly suffixes, in the Uzbek language. In traditional linguistics, suffixes are mainly studied from grammatical and semantic perspectives. However, in real communicative processes they also perform important pragmatic functions. The study analyzes how suffixes express additional meanings such as assumption, emphasis, politeness, respect, emotional attitude, and communicative intention. The research is based on descriptive and semantic analysis methods, which make it possible to determine the role of suffixes in forming pragmatic meaning in speech. The analysis shows that suffixes such as –dir, –ku, –mi, –lar, as well as personal and diminutive suffixes, actively participate in expressing the speaker’s attitude and regulating social relations in communication. Their pragmatic meaning is formed through context, the speaker’s intention, social relations between interlocutors, and the listener’s interpretation. The results demonstrate that suffixes in the Uzbek language function not only as grammatical elements but also as important pragmatic tools that shape the illocutionary force of speech acts and contribute to the formation of implicit meanings in discourse. The study highlights the importance of investigating morphological units from a pragmatic perspective in order to better understand the communicative potential of the Uzbek language.
