Abstract

Teaching speech etiquette from a linguocultural position contributes to the awareness of general cultural norms, values shared by peoples, basic stereotypes of thinking and behavior, norms and rules, rituals of verbal communication accepted in the culture of the country of the language being studied. However, despite the vastness and variety of works, there are limited studies of the linguoculturological aspect of teaching speech etiquette in Karakalpak schools. This presentation will highlight that in Karakalpakstan, Karakalpak and Uzbek are recognized as state languages, but majority of students are taught in Karakalpak. Therefore, for adequacy and success of intercultural interaction between adolescents, it is vital to know linguocultural specifics of the speech etiquette of the language being studied, and the training should be based on knowledge of the Karakalpak culture. The author will bring some examples about the psycholinguistic features of distant, rapid speech, defines the functional types of speech etiquette used in a telephone conversation, and superficially touches upon the rules of cooperation. Furthermore, the presenter will emphasize the importance of linguoculturological approach, as students will master not only the language, but also the general culture of speech behavior, the ability to enter into interpersonal interaction with native speakers.
