this article presents a comparative analysis of the pragmatic aspects of the speech of English and Uzbek children. It explores how children use speech acts, their communicative strategies, the development of dialogic speech, and the application of speech etiquette. The influence of cultural context and psychological factors on the development of children’s speech is also discussed. The findings indicate that while certain universal psycholinguistic tendencies exist, pragmatic differences between English and Uzbek children’s speech are evident and significant.
