Abstract

This research work is dedicated to the characteristics of communicative behavior encountered in the conversations of Uzbek and Japanese-speaking communicators. In order to reach this aim, the “please” units of bilingual communication were selected as the object of the research work, and the compositional stages of bilingual communication were observed and analyzed. Thereafter, based on the results of this observation, the sociolinguistic features of the two languages were studied. As a result, differences in compositional stages were identified in both languages, which led to “misunder standings” and even mutual resentment between the interlocutors. In addition, in Uzbek conversations between the “pleaser” and the listener, the listener seems to be polite to the “pleaser”, and in Japanese conversations, if the petitioner does not “inform” the “pleaser” at the beginning of the conversation, the listener does not understand the meaning of the please. It became clear that this difference did not lead to a "misunderstanding" in the interaction of bilingual speakers.
