Jongul Bekmurodovna Nazarova , Master’s Student, Karshi International UniversityAbstract
This study explores the pragmalinguistic role of compound nouns in short stories, focusing on how these linguistic structures contribute to meaning-making and narrative coherence within varied contexts. By analyzing a corpus of contemporary short stories, the research reveals how compound nouns convey nuanced semantic information, reflect cultural and contextual dimensions, and facilitate efficient communication. The findings underscore the interplay between morphosyntactic form and pragmatic function, highlighting compound nouns as dynamic devices that support character development, setting, and theme articulation.
