Abstract

This article provides a comparative analysis of the use of the terms "treaty," "convention," "charter," and "statute" in diplomatic discourse in both Uzbek and English languages. It aims to identify differences and similarities in the application, interpretation, and translation of these legal terms, highlighting how cultural, historical, and linguistic factors influence their use. A qualitative approach is employed, drawing upon authentic legal documents, official statements, and diplomatic agreements. The findings suggest that while there are overlapping uses of these terms, significant distinctions exist due to language structure and legal traditions. The study contributes to enhancing translation accuracy and intercultural communication in diplomatic contexts.
