Аннотация

This article studies the role of metaphor as a key stylistic device in Ernest Hemingway’s novel A Farewell to Arms and examines how metaphors are used in the Uzbek translation. By using stylistic and comparative analysis, the study investigates the key metaphorical expressions that contribute to the novel’s emotional tone, thematic depth, and narrative structure. The results show that while most metaphors are preserved during translation, some experience a modification, reflecting cultural adaptation and linguistic difficulties. The results highlight theimportance ofmetaphor in Hemingway’s style and thedifficulties translators face inmaintainingstylistic authenticity across languages. Keywords: metaphor, stylistic analysis, intercultural communication, comparative analysis, translation studies,Uzbek translation, literary devices, modification.
