SENTIMENT AND PRAGMATIC ANALYSIS OF TIME EXPRESSIONS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK: A CORPUS-BASED LINGUA-CULTURAL APPROACH
Time is one of the most universal yet culturally diverse categories in human cognition and literature. This study explores the sentiment and pragmatic functions of time expressions in English and Uzbek literary texts, employing both corpus-based methods and lingua-cultural analysis. The study highlights that linguistic choices in expressing time are not only grammatical but also cultural, influencing translation strategies and computational modeling. This research contributes to cross-cultural pragmatics, translation studies, and computational linguistics by demonstrating how sentiment analysis and corpus tools can be integrated with traditional literary interpretation.
