Abstract
This article investigates the linguistic and linguopragmatic characteristics of the concept of "respect" in English and Uzbek, focusing on how cultural norms shape the expression of respect in these languages. Through a comparative analysis, the study examines the lexical, syntactic, and pragmalinguistic strategies used to convey respect, revealing key differences and similarities. In English, respect is often associated with individualism and conveyed through politeness strategies that protect personal autonomy and face. In contrast, Uzbek reflects a collectivist society where respect is more hierarchical, embedded in formal language structures such as honorifics and polite pronouns. This research underscores the importance of understanding cultural differences in linguistic expressions of respect, particularly in cross-cultural communication.
