This article analyzes the realization of speech acts in Uzbek proverbs, focusing on their illocutionary and perlocutionary features. Proverbs are considered not only linguistic units but also pragmatic tools reflecting social relationships and moral values. Based on the speech act theories of J. Austin and J. Searle, the article identifies assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative types of speech acts in proverbs. It further explains the communicative functions of proverbs, such as advising, warning, encouraging, and evaluating, and highlights their perlocutionary effect on the listener. The article serves as a practical example of pragmalinguistic analysis in linguistics. Keywords: proverb, speech act, pragmatics, illocution, perlocution, communicative function, language and culture
