This scientific article explores the functional semantic field of caressing in the French and Uzbek languages. Caressing is a universal form of non-verbal communication that plays a crucial role in expressing affection and intimacy. However, different languages may employ distinct linguistic devices and cultural nuances to convey the act of caressing. This study aims to compare and contrast the semantics and pragmatics of caressing in these two languages by examining lexical items, cultural contexts, and social norms associated with this non-verbal communication.
