Abstract
This article will provide a comparative study of the discursive system of taboo and euphemization in English and Uzbek from the perspectives of discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics, and pragmatics. The article proposes a comparative discursive model that illustrates the interaction between taboo concepts, euphemistic transformation, cognitive processes, and discursive implementation.References
