COMMUNICATIVE FEATURES OF THE SIMPLE SENTENCE IN CURRENT ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES
Abstract
This article explores the communicative features of simple sentences in modern English and Uzbek languages using a comparative linguistic approach. The research focuses on how simple sentences function as tools of communication in spoken and written discourse. The study analyzes declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory sentence types and their role in expressing information, emotions, commands, and requests. English and Uzbek belong to different language families and therefore demonstrate distinct communicative strategies. English mainly depends on fixed word order, auxiliary verbs, and syntactic patterns, whereas Uzbek relies on agglutinative morphology, suffixes, and contextual flexibility. The findings indicate that communicative meaning in both languages is influenced by syntax, semantics, intonation, and pragmatic context. The article contributes to comparative linguistics and provides useful insights for translation studies and foreign language teaching methodologies.
