The communicative-pragmatic features of euphemisms related to political process in English and Uzbek political discourse
Abstract
Euphemisms play a significant role in political discourse, serving as a means to soften or obscure unpleasant, controversial, or sensitive topics. This paper examines the communicative-pragmatic aspects of euphemisms in political discourse, focusing on English and Uzbek languages. Through comparative analysis, we investigate how euphemisms are employed in political rhetoric, their pragmatic functions, and the cultural and linguistic factors that influence their usage. The findings reveal both universal trends and culturally specific characteristics in the use of euphemisms in political communication.
