This article investigates the pragmatics of interrogation in English and Uzbek detective texts from a comparative linguistic perspective. The study focuses on speech acts, questioning strategies, politeness mechanisms, and pragmatic goals employed during interrogation scenes. The material is based on selected English and Uzbek detective narratives in which interrogation constitutes a core narrative episode. The analysis reveals that English detective discourse tends toward institutionally regulated, pragmatically restrained interrogation strategies, while Uzbek discourse is characterized by emotionally charged, morally oriented, and socially embedded interrogative practices. The findings contribute to pragmatics, discourse analysis, and comparative literary linguistics.

Detective fiction has long captivated readers with its intellectual puzzles, suspenseful narratives, and richly drawn characters. From the rational, observant Sherlock Holmes created by Arthur Conan Doyle to the morally complex detectives of contemporary crime fiction, the genre has evolved significantly over time.

Have you ever sat down with a good mystery book, trying to figure out who the culprit is before the detective reveals it? If so, you've likely experienced the magic of Agatha Christie. Agatha Christie isn't just a writer; she's a legend. She's known as the "Queen of Crime," and for good reason. Her books have sold billions of copies worldwide, been translated into countless languages, and adapted into movies, TV shows, and plays that are still popular today.

This thesis gives a detailed look at the life and writing of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, one of the most important writers of the late 1800s and early 1900s in Britain. He is most famous for creating the detective Sherlock Holmes, but he also wrote many other types of stories, including historical novels, science fiction, plays, poems, and works about spiritualism. This study shows how Doyle’s background, education, and the society he lived in influenced his writing. It looks not only at Sherlock Holmes but also at his lesser-known works and his deep interest in spiritualism later in life. The thesis argues that Doyle’s writing both reflected and shaped the ideas and culture of his time.

This article presents a comparative discourse-oriented analysis of the portrayal of women in English and Uzbek crime and investigation narratives. The study examines how female characters are constructed through narrative roles, communicative behavior, and ideological functions within detective discourse. The material is based on selected English and Uzbek detective texts representing different cultural traditions. The research reveals that English crime discourse predominantly constructs female images through rational agency, institutional participation, and pragmatic restraint, whereas Uzbek discourse foregrounds emotional dominance, moral authority, and collective social responsibility. Despite these differences, universal narrative functions of women as victims, witnesses, and ethical catalysts are preserved across both traditions. The findings contribute to gender linguistics, comparative discourse studies, and literary stylistics.
