DECODING THE GIGGLES: EXPLORING HUMOR ACROSS UZBEK, ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES
Abstract
This article explores cultural differences and similarities in humor across the Uzbek, English, and Russian languages. Through a comparative analysis, the study examines the similarities and differences in comedic expressions, linguistic devices, and cultural nuances within the context of Uzbek, English, and Russian languages. By delving into various forms of humor, such as wordplay, satire, and irony, the research seeks to provide insights into how humor is perceived and conveyed within these distinct linguistic and cultural frameworks. Additionally, the article attempts to shed light on the role of language and cultural context in the interpretation and appreciation of humor, contributing to a deeper understanding of intercultural communication and linguistic diversity.
