This article is devoted to a comparative-theoretical analysis of the gender and pragmalinguistic features of formal oral speech and emotional sentences in Uzbek and English. In modern comparative linguistics, the speech process is formed under the influence of socio-cultural, national-mentality and psychological factors, along with grammatical laws. The article comparatively highlights the lexical, syntactic, and intonational differences inherent in male and female speech in Uzbek and English, as well as the pragmatic functions of emotional sentences in both languages. From the perspective of gender linguistics, the similarities and differences in speech strategies, principles of politeness, and methods of expressing communicative goals in official communication situations between representatives of the two languages are examined with particular attention. In the study, the scientific views of foreign and Uzbek linguists are comparatively analyzed, and the pragmalinguistic nature of emotional sentences is deeply revealed on the example of two languages. The results clearly demonstrate that the gender factor affects speech behavior, word choice, and the level of emotional expression differently in both languages. The article makes an important theoretical contribution to research in the fields of comparative gender linguistics and pragmatics, as well as in language education, and serves as a solid foundation for future scientific research.
