Abstract

This paper examines the complexities of menasive speech acts in English and Uzbek, highlighting the potential pitfalls and issues that arise from their contrasting cultural and linguistic underpinnings. The study analyzes the differences in directness, individualism versus collectivism, the use of figurative language, and the importance of relationship building in persuasion. Through a comparative analysis of examples and theoretical frameworks, the article argues that cultural and linguistic barriers can lead to misinterpretations, communication breakdowns, and strained relationships. The paper concludes with recommendations for overcoming these challenges and fostering effective cross-cultural communication in persuasive contexts.
