Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of gender-related language use in Uzbek and English social media discourse. It examines linguistic features, emotional expressions, communication strategies, and interaction patterns among male and female users. The data were collected from 40 participants (20 male and 20 female) and analyzed using qualitative discourse analysis methods. The findings reveal that female users tend to employ more expressive, polite, and emotionally rich language, whereas male users prefer more direct and concise communication styles. Female users also demonstrate higher levels of interaction and engagement through comments and replies, while male users focus on delivering information efficiently. Additionally, cultural differences between Uzbek and English contexts significantly influence communication styles. Uzbek discourse emphasizes politeness and indirectness, whereas English discourse is more direct and straightforward. The study contributes to sociolinguistic research and highlights the importance of understanding gender and cultural differences in digital communication.

Ushbu tadqiqot o‘zbek va ingliz tillaridagi ijtimoiy tarmoq diskursida genderga oid til ishlatilishini keng qamrovda tahlil qiladi. Tadqiqotda erkak va ayol foydalanuvchilarning leksik xususiyatlari, emotsional ifodalari, muloqot strategiyalari va interaktivlik darajasi o‘rganildi. Ma’lumotlar 40 nafar foydalanuvchidan (20 erkak, 20 ayol) yig‘ilib, diskurs tahlili asosida ko‘rib chiqildi. Natijalar ayollar ko‘proq emotsional, muloyim va kengroq ifodalarni ishlatishini, erkaklar esa qisqa va aniq nutqni afzal ko‘rishini ko‘rsatdi. Shuningdek, madaniy omillar ham muhim rol o‘ynashi aniqlandi. O‘zbek tilida muloyimlik va bilvosita ifoda ustun bo‘lsa, ingliz tilida to‘g‘ridan-to‘g‘ri ifoda ko‘proq uchraydi.
