Abstract: The rapid development of digital communication has significantly
influenced spoken and written language forms, particularly in online environments.
Internet comments represent a unique linguistic space where features of spoken
language are reflected in written form. This article investigates the allophonic features
observed in internet comments in English and Uzbek. The study aims to identify how
phonetic variations, sound substitutions, and informal pronunciation patterns are
represented orthographically in online comments. Using a comparative approach, the
research analyzes samples of internet comments from social media platforms in both
languages. The findings reveal both language-specific and universal tendencies in
allophonic representation, influenced by phonological systems, sociolinguistic factors,
and digital communication norms.
