This article examines the pragmatic features of address and evaluative units in Cholpon's prose, with particular attention to the novel Kecha va kunduz. The purpose of the study is to identify how forms of address, respectful or intimate vocatives, kinship terms, personal pronouns and evaluative lexical units function in literary dialogue and narrative commentary. The research applies descriptive, contextual, linguopragmatic and cultural-pragmatic methods. The material is taken from the text of Kecha va kunduz, where communicative relations between Zebi, Salti, Qurvonbibi, Razzoq Sufi, Miryoqub, Akbarali mingboshi and other characters reveal a complex system of social hierarchy, politeness, emotional closeness and power asymmetry. The analysis shows that affectionate forms such as o'rtoqjon, jonim qaqa and aylanay express solidarity and emotional support, while harsh evaluative units such as Fitna, qanjiklar, eshak and itvachcha perform the function of verbal dominance and social criticism. The article concludes that address and evaluative units in Cholpon's prose are not merely lexical elements; they are important pragmatic markers of national mentality, family etiquette, gender relations and the author's critical attitude toward social injustice.
