Abstract

This article explores the influence of cultural values of an ethnic group on communicative behavior. It analyzes the ways of expressing disagreement by Uzbek informants on the basis of the discourse completion test. The representatives of Uzbek linguoculture often avoid direct disagreement using such tactics as mitigation, providing explanations, making counteroffers or partially agreeing while redirecting. Indirectness and conflict avoidance become noticeable tendencies reflecting Uzbek cultural values.
