The Expression of Subjectivity and Evaluation Through Parenthetical Devices in English and Karakalpak Languages
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article examines the expression of subjectivity and evaluation through parenthetical devices in English and Karakalpak. Particular attention is given to the semantic, pragmatic, and functional characteristics of linguistic elements that express the speaker's attitude towards an utterance. The study focuses on epistemic modality, personal opinion, emotional evaluation, logical inference, and interpersonal communication. The analysis demonstrates that parenthetical devices in both languages communicate degrees of certainty, personal judgments, emotional reactions, and relationships between propositions.
