Abstract
This study examines the role of discourse signs in expressing social roles and status within Uzbek communicative culture. Through the analysis of teacher–student and father–son dialogues, it reveals how verbal and paralinguistic signs such as pronoun choice, honorifics, intonation, and topic control serve to maintain social hierarchy and relational norms. Discourse patterns reflect power asymmetry, cultural expectations, and emotional proximity. The study applies a sociolinguistic and semiotic framework to explore how social roles are both indexed and performed through everyday language.
