Abstract

The article considers the pragmatic properties of numeral words expressing the meaning of money, and presents the results of a qualitative empirical study of spending cash at the theater box office in Tashkent. Based on the observation, a conclusion is made about the symbolic function and role of cash in everyday life, the unconsciousness of the functions used and the strategies for the meaning of money in the process of communication that arise in the natural rhythm of the daily life of theater visitors. It also emphasizes the loss of these symbols and roles when paying for their needs in a non-cash way using a card.
