This article examines speech acts as linguo-cultural markers in Uzbek poetic discourse, focusing on the poetry of the prominent Uzbek poet Jamol Kamol. The study explores the ways in which speech acts function not only as communicative units but also as carriers of cultural meanings, spiritual values, emotional experiences, and national worldview. In literary discourse, speech acts go beyond the transmission of factual information; they reveal the speaker’s psychological state, social relations, moral attitudes, and aesthetic intentions.

The research analyzes expressive, directive, assertive, and other types of speech acts represented in Jamol Kamol’s poetic texts from a pragmatic and linguocultural perspective. Particular attention is paid to such speech forms as appeal, confession, remembrance, prayer-like expressions, and emotional statements, which reflect the poet’s interpretation of human experiences and spiritual values. The analysis demonstrates that poetic speech acts serve as important linguistic mechanisms for representing cultural memory, ethical concepts, and the inner world of the lyrical subject.

The findings contribute to the study of Uzbek poetic discourse by highlighting the interaction between pragmatics, linguoculturology, and literary interpretation. The research emphasizes that speech acts in poetry should be regarded as meaningful linguo-cultural phenomena that preserve and transmit the spiritual heritage of a nation.
