Keywords:

This thesis presents a comparative analysis of persuasive rhetorical strategies employed in lawyer’s speech in English and Uzbek languages. Based on Aristotle’s concepts of logos, ethos, and pathos, the study investigates the differences and similarities within the juridical discourse of both languages. While English juridical speech prioritizes a formal, logical, and evidence-based approach, Uzbek juridical rhetoric tends to emphasize emotional influence, traditional forms of address, and cultural values. The research provides a practical basis for improving juridical rhetorical competence and enhancing effective cross-linguistic juridical communication.
