Grammatical Means of Expressing Prohibition in English and Uzbek: a Comparative Analysis

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This thesis explores the grammatical means of expressing prohibition in English and Uzbek languages. Prohibition, as a directive speech act, plays an essential role in regulating interpersonal communication. While both languages employ grammatical, lexical, and pragmatic tools to convey prohibitions, the structure, degree of directness, and cultural underpinnings differ significantly. This study focuses on grammatical markers, modal verbs, and negative constructions in both languages, illustrating similarities and differences through authentic examples.
