A Comparative Study of German and Uzbek Legal Press Language

This article examines the comparative features of German and Uzbek legal press language. It explores lexical, stylistic, and discursive strategies used in legal journalism, highlighting how cultural and systemic factors shape the communication of law in the media. Based on discourse analysis of selected German and Uzbek newspapers, the study reveals that German legal press emphasizes precision and neutrality, while Uzbek legal journalism tends to simplify terminology and embed legal issues into broader social and moral narratives. The research draws on the theories of German scholars such as Konrad Ehlich, Dieter Busse, and Ulrich Sarcinelli to contextualize the findings within legal linguistics and political communication.
