Abstract
The paper investigates the meaning of the term “sociolinguistics” in modern linguistics, the problems of sociolinguistics regarding to legalese, as well as the history of development and actuality of sociolinguistic research in legal writing. The study considers the problems of sociolinguistics in the legal correspondence of two countries (US and Uzbekistan) and lawyer-client written communication. The research explores distinctive points of legal correspondence, particularly legal letters, their etymology and evolution of two countries. Furthermore, the types of legal letters, their appropriate structure and compulsory components are highlighted. The author shares her theoretical, methodological, and sociolinguistic studies of legal correspondence ranging from formation and development in English and Uzbek, to their linguistic, lexical, structural, and semantic features. As an outcome of her research, the social analysis of legal correspondence in English and Uzbek is presented in the issuance of legal letters in English and Uzbek based on comparative and interpretive analysis. This may serve as an informative, instructional, and structural manual for future-being lawyers and professionals who are intending to pursue a career in international law.
