CROSS-LINGUISTIC VARIATIONS IN REDUNDANCY EXPRESSION: ENGLISH-UZBEK FUNCTIONAL PERSPECTIVES

This article explores redundancy in language as a functional and typologically conditioned phenomenon. By analyzing English examples and considering implications for morphologically rich languages such as Uzbek, the study highlights redundancy’s roles in grammar, lexicon, and discourse. Redundancy is presented as a communicative strategy that enhances clarity, cognitive processing, and stylistic emphasis, rather than as mere repetition. The article integrates functional, typological, and cognitive perspectives, offering personal analytic reflections alongside evidence from established linguistic research.
