Abstract
This thesis examines how standardization shapes formulaic expressions in English and Uzbek official correspondence. Using a small genre-balanced corpus and norm-oriented analysis, it identifies recurrent opening, request, and closing formulas and evaluates their compliance with institutional writing conventions. Methods integrate discourse analysis, genre analysis, and translation equivalence testing. The novelty lies in proposing a functional correspondence map that reduces pragmatic loss in bilingual official communication.
