Аннотация:
This paper explores the formation of humor in English and Uzbek children from a linguocultural perspective. It examines how humor appears as a social and linguistic phenomenon in early childhood communication, shaped by cultural norms, parental influence, and language-specific features. The study employs a comparative linguistic and cultural analysis in both English and Uzbek children’s discourse. Findings reveal significant differences in the nature and expression of humor between the two languages, reflecting broader distinctions in cultural attitudes toward laughter, politeness, and child socialization.
