Gender and Age Characteristics of Communicative Discourse (As an Example of Uzbek Phraseology)
Abstract
This study investigates gender and age characteristics in Uzbek communication discourse through the analysis of phraseology, which mirrors cultural and social norms. Despite its significance, limited research has explored how phraseological units differ across gender and age groups in the Uzbek language. Addressing this gap, the study aims to identify variations in the use and role of phraseological expressions among men, women, and different age groups. Using a qualitative methodology, the research examines the communicative functions and influence of phraseological units within discourse. The findings reveal notable differences in phraseological usage, shaped by gender and age, highlighting their importance in reflecting social dynamics. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of the interplay between language, culture, and identity, offering insights for linguistic and cultural studies.
