Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between bilingualism and language identity within Uzbek and English linguistic contexts, addressing the growing significance of multilingual practices in the era of globalization. The research is motivated by the increasing need to understand how individuals negotiate cultural and social belonging through language choice, code-switching, and stylistic variation. The objective of the study is to conduct a comparative sociolinguistic analysis of bilingual practices and their impact on identity construction in two distinct cultural settings.
