Abstract

This study explores the interaction between paralinguistics and pragmatics in the expression of compliments in Uzbek and English cultures. Compliments are considered speech acts in which nonverbal elements (gestures, facial expressions, intonation) play a crucial role in conveying sincerity and politeness. The research analyzes cultural variations in paralinguistic strategies based on linguistic and cultural features of both societies. A comparative analysis is conducted on gestures and intonational patterns used to express approval and praise. The findings provide valuable insights for specialists in intercultural communication, linguistics, and pragmatics, as well as for foreign language educators. The Interaction of Paralinguistics and Pragmatics in the Expression of Compliments in Uzbek and English Cultures.
