This thesis analyzes the discursive-pragmatic characteristics of the subjunctive mood in the German language, its role within the system of speech acts, and the possibilities of its expression in Uzbek. The subjunctive mood manifests not merely as a grammatical verb form, but as a crucial linguistic tool that expresses the speaker’s subjective-modal attitude toward reality, distance from the information source, speech etiquette, and communicative strategies. The study highlights the functions of subjunctive I and subjunctive II forms in evidentiality, pragmatic mitigation, politeness, textual coherence, and the creation of aesthetic impact.
