A Comparative Study of the Official Style in the German and Uzbek Languages

This article is dedicated to a comparative analysis of the functional-stylistic features of the official style in the German and Uzbek languages. The study comprehensively examines the role of the official style in state administration, legal, and diplomatic spheres, as well as its genre diversity and the linguistic norms characteristic of this style (impersonality, conciseness, logicality, and terminological standardization). The research classifies the individual and institutional forms of the official style and analyzes the syntactic and lexical structure of various document types. Furthermore, the scientific perspectives of Uzbek linguists (N. Mahmudov, E. Begmatov) and Russian scholars (E.P. Rashevskaya, G.P. Nesgovorova) are compared within the scope of the topic. The results of the research indicate that the official style is an essential tool for regulating socio-political and legal relations in society, distinguished by strict literary norms, logical consistency, and a high degree of formalization.
