Abstract

This article analyzes the pragmalinguistic features of contextual antonyms in English and Uzbek. It examines how antonymic units function across various communicative situations and how pragmatic, semantic, and cultural factors shape their meaning. The comparative analysis demonstrates that contextual antonyms not only convey logical opposition but also fulfill important communicative and stylistic functions.
