As long as people live in society, they constantly communicate with other people about various aspects of life for different purposes in different situations. Here, language performs the task of communication. In the process of the communication, people follow certain legal rules of the society, certain norms that are considered appropriate by the society. This phenomenon is manifested in a person's behavior and language. The aspect we would like to touch on in the article is how well people can use language and its possibilities in certain situations. Because in the internal structure of all languages, there are words that had been formed since ancient times and there are some prohibitions and restrictions on their use in communication, such words are called taboos, and it requires certain skills and knowledge to effectively use the words and word combinations. Hence, it is characterized by the emergence of new expressions, in other words, euphemisms, instead of words that are tabooed by certain peoples and society. Below, we will focus on these features of the language comparatively in the Uzbek and English languages.
