COMMUNICATIVE-PRAGMATIC FEATURES OF CONSTRUCTION AND ARCHITECTURAL PROFESSIONAL DISCOURSE IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK
Keywords:
professional discourse, construction discourse, architectural discourseAbstract
This thesis examines the communicative-pragmatic features of construction and architectural professional discourse in English and Uzbek. The study focuses on how specialists use language to describe design decisions, regulate professional actions, express technical accuracy, coordinate participants and maintain institutional responsibility. Construction and architectural discourse is characterised by terminology, directive speech acts, precision, modality, intertextual references to standards and a strong connection between verbal and visual information. In English and Uzbek, this discourse performs similar professional functions, but differs in syntactic structure, terminology formation, politeness strategies and the expression of obligation. The findings show that comparative analysis of this discourse is important for translation, professional communication and the training of specialists in architecture and construction.
