While both languages share similarities in punctuation usage, distinct cultural and linguistic characteristics shape their specific practices. The study also highlights the innovative use of unconventional punctuation and emoji’s in online discourse, contributing to a deeper understanding of language evolution in digital contexts.

Annotatsiya Raqamli davrda tinish belgilarining onlayn muloqotdagi pragmatik o‘rni, jumladan, ohang, ma'no va muloqot dinamikasiga ta'siri katta ahamiyat kasb etadi.
