MODERN PROSECUTORIAL DISCOURSE BEHAVIOR IN THE 21ST CENTURY AND ITS UNIQUE ASPECTS (IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK)
Abstract
This article explores the modern discourse behavior of prosecutors in the 21st century within the context of English and Uzbek languages. It examines the evolving linguistic, rhetorical, and ethical features that distinguish contemporary prosecutorial speech. By analyzing real-life examples and legal practices from Uzbekistan and English-speaking countries, the study identifies both universal and culturally specific traits of prosecutorial communication. The findings reveal that global trends such as digitalization, transparency, and multilingualism shape prosecutorial language use, while traditional legal-cultural values still exert influence on tone and structure.
