Results:
Structural Patterns: The analysis of structural patterns in English and
Uzbek newspaper short messages revealed several noteworthy findings. Both
languages exhibited a preference for brevity, employing short sentences and condensed
expressions to convey information concisely. Abbreviations and acronyms were
commonly used in both English and Uzbek texts to save space and streamline
communication. These abbreviated forms often included common terms such as "LOL"
(laugh out loud) and "OMG" (oh my god) in English, while Uzbek messages featured
locally popular abbreviations like "Xayr" (goodbye) and "KMP" (katta mehmon)
meaning "big guest."
However, English newspaper short messages displayed a higher prevalence of
Pragmalinguistic elements. Hashtags, originally popularized by social media
platforms, were frequently used to categorize messages and facilitate topic-based
searches. Mentions, denoted by the "@" symbol followed by a username, allowed users
to tag and address specific individuals or organizations. Emoticons and emojis,
graphical representations of emotions or objects, were employed to convey sentiment
or add visual appeal to the messages. These Pragmalinguistic features in English texts
reflected the extensive usage of digital platforms and the influence of English-based

Stylistic Elements:
Stylistic elements played a significant role in both English and Uzbek newspaper
short messages, contributing to their effectiveness in capturing readers' attention.
Alliteration, the repetition of sounds at the beginning of words, was observed in both
languages, employed to enhance the rhythmic and memorable qualities of the
messages. Puns, wordplay based on multiple meanings or similar-sounding words,
added humor and creativity to the texts.
Additionally, English newspaper short messages exhibited a higher frequency of
Pragmalinguistic stylistic features. Code snippets, fragments of programming code,
were occasionally embedded within the texts, providing a playful nod to the realm of
programming. Programming language keywords, such as "if," "else," and "while,"
were cleverly incorporated into the syntax and structure of the messages, demonstrating
a fusion of programming constructs with natural language expression.
Comparison between English and Uzbek:
The results of the analysis indicated that Pragmalinguistic features were more
prevalent in English newspaper short messages compared to Uzbek. This discrepancy
can be attributed to the widespread global usage of English as the lingua franca of
