Abstract	A descriptive and cross-cultural analysis of greeting forms, both verbal and nonverbal, used among Uzbek and American people is presented. Aspects discussed include: the general usage patterns of greeting forms; their frequency and distribution in particular social situations in relation to the speakers' profession, age, gender, and social position; social factors that influence choice of greeting form; social patterns of greeting forms; and common features and differences in greeting forms among undergraduate students and teachers in both Uzbek and American cultures. Data for the last analysis are drawn from observation and surveys at state universities in Uzbekistan and the United States. Situations observed included students and teachers meeting at work around the university, in corridors and classrooms, passing on the street, at ceremonies and informal social gatherings, and in dormitories. It is concluded that in both cultures, greetings are expressed both verbally and nonverbally; Uzbek verbal forms are characterized by their relative simplicity; nonverbal greetings are more complex than verbal ones in both cultures, but have differing patterns; and American patterns are relatively more formal and restrained.
