A Sociopragmatic Study of the Theory of Politeness (Based on the Works of Tohir Malik)

This monograph examines the place of the theory of politeness in modern linguistics and explores urgent theoretical issues related to its sociopragmatic study. In particular, it highlights key pragmatic categories such as politeness strategies, face theory, speech acts, presupposition, implicature, and sociopragmatic competence, as well as linguistically significant elements like socially restricted vocabulary, social identification, and nicknames, using the works of Tohir Malik as illustrative material.
The monograph is intended for linguists, researchers specializing in this field, and students majoring in Uzbek language and literature.
