This article aims to analyze connections with both loved ones
and total strangers. Such communication demonstrates the
existence of particular connections and roles among individuals.
To account for the communication context, the speaker selects an
addressee based on the addressee’s attributes, including gender,
age (age group), function in the circumstance, and occasionally
the interlocutor’s family status. When communicating with loved
ones, the relationship’s history often allows for more familiarity
and comfort, reducing the need for formalities. Shared
experiences, inside jokes, and mutual understanding may come
into play. However, even in close connections, context still
matters – what is said to a partner in a private moment may differ
from what is said in front of other family members.
Conversing with strangers, on the other hand, requires
a different level of consideration. Without the foundation of
a shared history, the choice of how to address the individual –
based on observable factors like gender, age, or professional role
– becomes essential. Strangers often expect politeness and
respect, especially in formal settings, making communication
more guarded or structured.

Цель данной статьи – проанализировать особенности
общения с близкими людьми и совершенно незнакомыми.
Такое
взаимодействие
отражает
существование
специфических связей и ролей между участниками
коммуникации. В процессе общения говорящий выбирает
подход к адресату, основываясь на его характеристиках, таких
как пол, возраст (возрастная группа), роль в конкретной
ситуации и, иногда, семейный статус.
В общении с близкими людьми история отношений
создает атмосферу знакомства и комфорта, что снижает
необходимость строгих формальностей. В то же время
взаимодействие с незнакомцами требует большего внимания
к деталям. Отсутствие общей истории делает выбор стиля
общения особенно важным: он основывается на наблюдаемых
характеристиках,
таких
как
пол,
возраст
или
профессиональная роль собеседника. В подобных ситуациях
незнакомцы чаще всего ожидают проявления вежливости и
уважения, особенно в формальной обстановке, что делает
такое общение более сдержанным и структурированным.
INTRODUCTION
The demand for interpersonal communication is also growing as a result of the growth
of popular culture and the return to earlier spiritual ideals. This holds for relationships with
strangers as well as with loved ones. Simply put, the communication firms are distinct.
Modern sociology, psychology, and ethics distinguish between several types of
communication, including anonymous, functional-role, primarily functional, intimate-family,
and informal [4]. Communication between strangers that does not require anthronyms is

known as "unidentified communication." Included in this are any temporary interactions,
such as those between citizens of the same city, train passengers, moviegoers, museum
visitors, communications between people, etc. Suсh communicators meet, talk, and, out of
necessity, split up without getting to know one another. They are usually anonymous and
unknown to one another. This kind of communication shows that there are specific
relationships and functions between people:
eaсher – student
,
waiter- serviсed (сlient),
passenger-соnduсtоr, speсtatоr – singer, surgeоn – patient,
etс. Due to the increasing
dedemocratization of society, many forms of infrastructural communication are becoming
more and more common. Young people’s shared interests in education, music, technology,
etc., are essentially achieved as a result of a causal or geographic connection (living in the same
neighborhood or village). There is undoubtedly a noticeable difference in the addresses used
when communicating with an unknown recipient. As a result, we thought it would be
appropriate to thoroughly examine the methods of addressing the addressee.
SCIENTIFIC NOVELTY OF THE PRESENTED RESULTS
When speaking with the addressee, the speaker chooses an address based on the
addressee’s characteristics, such as gender, age (age group), role in the situation, and
occasionally the interlocutor’s family status, accounting for the communication situation.
However, because of the lack of familiarity, the speaker is unable to identify the addressee’s
name or social origin. Fоr example, – Dоllу, keep still! сried Mrs. Geоrg [1]. This instance
demonstrates how challenging it can be to choose an address in some situations to create an
effective communication. The zero address formula is most commonly used when addressing
an addressee in a public setting, such as a street, a station, a transit system, a library, or
another public space. This means that the addressee is not directly identified. Fоr example,
the fоllоwing сan be said tо them: Examples: Exсuse me, Sоrrу, I’m sоrrу, I beg уоur pardоn
and оthers. Fоr example,
exсuse me, сan уоu shоw me the waу tо the Bazaar
.
Exсuse me, is there
a Higher Eduсatiоnal Establishment near here; I’m sоrrу, is this seat free?
Exсuse me, уоung ladу,
сan уоu tell me the time, please
? [3] The phrase "Excuse me" is often used in address formulas
where someone is speaking, intending to capture attention and obtain the desired
information. These types of appeals do not indicate age, gender, or social differences; they
simply perform an informative action. Such requests should be tailored to the context and
relationship. For instance, “Excuse me, young lady, could you please tell me the time?” – this
courteous expression is suitable for talking to an unfamiliar young woman and matches a
neutral tone of conversation; however, if used in a family setting, this phrasing might come off
as awkward or sarcastic. Simultaneously, the speaker can select a mode of address that
assesses the participants based on the context of the interaction during the conversation with
the recipient.
PRACTICAL IMPORTANCE, FIELDS OF APPLICATION
This stуle is alsо оften fоund in Uzbek: E.g.: –
Hоу Уigitlar! О’zlaringni tartibga sоlinglar.
Malikam
kelmоqdalar. Salоmga taууоrlaning.
(
A. Qоdiriу. О’tkan kunlar
) [5]. In certain
situations, instead of politely asking or requesting something from a stranger, it is suitable to
begin with a zero address starting with just "apologies". For instance, if you walk past the seats
to find your spot in the Theater and wish to speak to someone you don’t know, you need to
select an appropriate way of addressing them to pass by smoothly, as those strangers will
need to either stand up for you or contort their bodies in uncomfortable ways. While
examining the aforementioned "apology unfairly over an unspecified period," no expressions

of reference meaning were found.[2] We identified the following discrepancies in Uzbek and
English languages:
1) In Uzbek, phrases like "give way, please- yo‘l bering iltimos" are used in warning
situations, whereas in English, they are replaced with "Pardon me!" when addressing;
2) "Excuse me" (Pardon me; I beg your pardon) is not utilized about police officers,
porters, or waiters. In certain situations, an individual speaking English may choose to use
formal language to show respect and politeness towards the recipient in formal and informal
conversations. The decrease in formal communication among speakers in the northern United
States was shown by the southern speakers being less likely to speak privately to strangers
due to the dominance of sovereignty. Therefore, rather than using formal forms of address,
informal language terms such as partner, friend, companion, young lady can be used – So,
young lady, return to your room, Mr. Fogg said. Traveling through various countries in a
period of 80 days. Furthermore, in contemporary English, the option to utilize the secret
address has grown, being employed as a form of respect when speaking to any individual,
including those who are not known: – I stood out from the rest of the girls for not covering my
face and for frequently engaging with teachers by asking questions. However, I made an effort
to follow the rules and show respect by consistently responding with, "Yes, Mrs." Initially, miss
was a form of mistress from the 17th century which evolved into misses/missus, and was
utilized as a shorthand for all females. In the 18th and 19th centuries, married women were
referred to as Mrs. followed by their husband’s last name, while Miss was used for unmarried
women of marrying age. Nowadays, Miss is also utilized for women who are married. For
instance, in English, the title Miss is used for a school teacher, regardless of whether she is
married or not. This situation has persisted since the period in which single women could
receive education. [6] Miss changes to Misses in plural form, while in French Mademoiselle
(Mille) is occasionally used as a plural form. The term miss is commonly used to describe
female salespeople, servers in restaurants or cafes, or alternatively, their patrons. For
instance, when interacting with customers in large stores (Supermarkets), sellers often
inquire if they need assistance and also address them as Sir, Madam, or Miss according to their
gender and age. – George, cracking filberts, mentions that it’s a family-run business. Rewrite
the text by keeping the same number of words and using the same input language:
(W. Makepeace Thackeray. (Vanity Fair) – "Oh, madam, it is a significant ritual," the priest
responded. Лев Толстой – русский писатель. "War and Peace); – Excuse me,
I would like a small orange juice, please. (from conversation); – Miss, you dropped your glove.
(from the conversation)." However, if the proprietors of the little store are frequent patrons:
Mr. + LN for males, Mrs. + LN for females, young girls are called Miss + LN, and children are
called N. This is because their regular customers either live close to the store or have a certain
level of familiarity for other reasons. In printed ads, buyers are commonly referred to as
clients [4].
RESULTS
Translations of Miss, Mrs., Madam (Madame), Ma’am, Mademoiselle into Uzbek
frequently result in the word "lady". However, the English dictionary does contain the word
"lady." The female was included in the English dictionary as Khanum, Khanom, or Khanoum.
[1] This word has already been included in the dictionaries of many languages around the
world. It is notably present in the language dictionaries of Kazakh, Arabic, Tajik, Uzar, Turkish,
Persian, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, and Albanian. Khanim comes from the ancient Turkish (Uzbek
language), initially used as a title for noble women in Central Asia, and later commonly used
in

In ancient times, the designation was appended to the title of a noble woman as a component:
Mohlaroyim), o‘im qiz (a term used to show respect for girls or in a casual manner),
o‘imposhha (addressing a woman in a casual way of high-ranking women), o‘imtilla (in a
casual way out of respect), o‘imsupurgi (in a negative way: in relation to a polite person who
bends like a broom), oimcha (in history, when addressing a young woman from a high-ranking
family, shah, khans, in a caressing sense, nozanin, tannoz, in a rude manner), оуparсha (as

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, English and Uzbek addresses evolve as intricate systems of units shaped
by the national and cultural characteristics of speech behavior. English and Uzbek references
play vital communicative roles in speech, showcasing characteristics of speech acts when used
independently or in interaction with other sentences to achieve a specific communicative goal
of the speaker.
The guidelines for selecting appeals by dialogue participants in English and Uzbek
include gender-age factor, status-role factor, individual-positional factor, emotional and
personal factor, education and employment level of the addressee, communicative situation
factor, and formality level of the situation.
