Abstract

This article explores the pragmatic features of the imperative speech act within the widely applied theory of speech acts in linguistics. As a subtype of directive acts, the imperative speech act is analyzed in terms of its illocutionary force and its dependence on social roles, context, and the hierarchy between speech participants. Special attention is given to its semantic and functional forms, direct and indirect expression methods, and its formation under sociocultural influence, with particular emphasis on its manifestation in the Uzbek language as a linguistic phenomenon.
