INTRODUCTION

The substantiation of the topic of the master's thesis and its relevance. First of all, in the conditions of global economic, political and cultural integration, as well as in connection with the development of computer technologies, there has been an increasing interest among scientists in the study of language identity problems in world linguistics.
Insufficient knowledge of the functional, pragmatic and stylistic features of business Internet communication, the need to study extra linguistic factors that influence business communication, determine the interest in the chosen topic. Therefore, the study of the politeness in written speech culture is no less important than a purely linguistic approach to its qualitative and linguistic characteristics.
Language units that form the content of the text of the letter and determine its genre are the core of the study, however, taking into account the scope and situations in which they become relevant leads to an understanding of why these, and not other language means are chosen by the communicant-initiator of communication to achieve their not only communicative, but also activity goals.
With this approach to email writing, it is reasonable to consider established points of view and form a special view on the concepts of communication, written communication, communicant, communicative situation, and communicative goal in connection with the specifics of the object of study.
At the moment the government of Uzbekistan is paying great attention to the improvement of foreign language teaching qualities. On this aim there was adopted a Decree of the President of the Uzbekistan Republic on May 19, 2021, named «On measures to raise to a qualitatively new level of activities to popularize the study of foreign languages in the Republic of Uzbekistan»¹. The issues of language learning, improving the quality and content of education, upbringing of young generation were always considered as the most urgent tasks in our government.
So we are learning English as a foreign language in our country. As we know from linguistics courses English and Uzbek languages are irrelative languages. In other words, they belong to different language families. That`s why their structure is also differing. This difference can be observed while comparing their structure.
That’s why contrastive study of explicit and implicit features of politeness in written speech culture of English and Uzbek languages is very actual for the development of Uzbek linguistics.
