This article explores the use of somatic phraseologisms in contemporary German literature, focusing on their socio-communicative functions. Somatic phraseologisms—idiomatic expressions referring to body parts—are deeply rooted in cultural and linguistic traditions. They enhance literary texts by adding expressiveness, reinforcing social connections, and contributing to humor and irony. Furthermore, these phraseologisms serve as markers of character identity, social status, and emotional states, making them a powerful tool for writers. The study also highlights emerging trends in the adaptation of traditional idioms to digital communication and modern cultural contexts. Through an analysis of their usage in literary works, this paper demonstrates how somatic phraseologisms continue to shape the stylistic and communicative landscape of German literature.

Language is a fundamental medium through which cultural values, societal norms, and worldview are transmitted. Evaluatively in language refers to the expression of subjective judgments, attitudes, and emotions, shaping perceptions and interactions. This paper explores the intricate relationship between evaluatively, cultural features, and worldview, drawing on linguistic relativity, cultural semiotics, and discourse analysis. The study examines how evaluative expressions vary across languages, illustrating the influence of cultural frameworks on linguistic structures. Findings indicate that evaluative language encodes societal hierarchies, collective values, and emotional perceptions, impacting identity formation and intercultural communication. Additionally, the study highlights the role of metaphor and idiomatic expressions in shaping evaluative meaning across cultures. With globalization and digital communication influencing evaluative language, new hybrid expressions emerge, reshaping traditional linguistic patterns. Understanding evaluatively provides valuable insights into cross-cultural discourse, promoting effective communication in an increasingly interconnected world. Future research should further explore digital discourse and its evolving impact on evaluative expressions.

The conceptualization of time and space is a fundamental aspect of human cognition, deeply embedded in language. Cognitive linguistics provides a framework for understanding how individuals mentally structure these abstract domains through embodied experiences and cultural influences. This study examines how metaphor, image schemas, and conceptual blending shape linguistic representations of time and space. Findings reveal that time is often conceptualized through spatial metaphors, such as the "Moving Time" and "Time as a Path" metaphors, which structure human perception of temporal progression. Spatial cognition is influenced by embodied schemas like the "Container Schema" and "Source-Path-Goal" schema, reflecting physical experiences of movement and orientation. Cross-linguistic studies highlight cultural variations in time and space conceptualization, demonstrating that languages differ in how they encode spatial and temporal relationships. Conceptual Blending Theory further explains how mental spaces interact to create new linguistic meanings. The study concludes that while cognitive mechanisms underlying time and space conceptualization are universal, cultural and technological factors influence their linguistic expressions. Future research should explore how digital communication and evolving cultural paradigms shape the cognitive and linguistic representation of time and space.

Silence in oral speech serves as a crucial communicative tool, influencing discourse dynamics, emotional expression, and cognitive processing. This study explores the socio-psychological characteristics of the speaker that determine the use of silence in oral communication. It examines silence as a strategic and involuntary element shaped by personality traits, emotional regulation, cultural norms, and communication anxiety. The findings indicate that introverted individuals and those from high-context cultures tend to use silence more frequently, either as a means of cognitive processing or as a sign of respect. Conversely, speakers with higher communication anxiety often experience silence as a barrier rather than a tool. Understanding these factors has significant implications for cross-cultural communication, education, and professional interactions.

This article explores the concept of syntactic and semantic habituality in language, particularly within the context of literature and grammar. Syntactic habituality focuses on the grammatical structures, such as verb tenses, adverbs of frequency, and modal verbs, that convey repeated actions or routines. It examines how these constructions shape the expression of habitual actions across different tenses, such as Present Simple, Past Simple, and Present Perfect, as well as the use of frequency adverbs like "always," "usually," or "rarely." The article further delves into how these structures can reflect habituality through phrasal verbs and modal constructions, adding layers of meaning to the repetition.

On the other hand, semantic habituality investigates the deeper meaning and significance of habitual actions in narrative and characterization. It demonstrates how repeated actions reflect a character’s psychology, social role, and internal conflict. Through examples from literature, such as Virginia Woolf's and F. Scott Fitzgerald's works, the article shows how habitual actions are not only markers of regularity but also convey deeper emotional, psychological, or existential states. The article concludes by exploring the intersection of syntactic and semantic habituality, where grammatical structures and the meanings they convey complement each other to create a fuller understanding of a character’s regular actions.

This article discusses Speech Act Theory, which is a key concept in pragmatic linguistics. The theory asserts that a sentence is not merely a unit of information, but an action performed by the speaker, aimed at various goals such as asserting, questioning, ordering, apologizing, and more. Developed in the late 19th and 20th centuries, Speech Act Theory was shaped significantly by philosophers John Austin and John Searle. Austin's initial work in the 1950s divided speech acts into three categories: locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts. Locutionary acts refer to the actual utterance of words, illocutionary acts represent the speaker's intent behind the utterance, and perlocutionary acts describe the effect the utterance has on the listener. The article further explores how proverbs in English and Uzbek express these acts, emphasizing the importance of context in understanding speech acts.

It is a common fact that sociolinguistics is one of the most interesting branches of linguistics which takes a language as an aspect of a society or even a tool which expresses and showcases the societies’ beliefs, traditions, lifestyle and values. The process of language acquisition is a complex issue which requires several years or even dozens of years of deep research and variety of social experiments. Many linguists take a detailed look at facts and at researches that are done in previous generations and make an attempt to compare and find out what has changed and are there any alterations in habits, language and beliefs of societies. The tool, undoubtedly, is a language that people utilize and change. And this change can be clearly seen between young children who are still in process of language acquisition. This article will explore the comparison of healthy children’s language capabilities and capabilities of feral children who were isolated from the society thus their language learning process changed irretrievably.
