The Discursive Features of Speech Acts in Uzbek Media
Abstract
Understanding the discursive nature of these speech acts requires peeling back layers of intention, form, and effect. From a casual morning news report to a fiery political debate, from a government press release to a social media post—every utterance performs an act. This article delves into these performative structures, drawing from foundational theories and applying them to authentic Uzbek media texts to illuminate how speech acts operate discursively and powerfully in public discourse.
