STYLISTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPARISON IN THE ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGE

Аннотация

The study of stylistic characteristics in language provides valuable insights into how different linguistic systems convey meaning and express nuances. One of the most prominent and versatile stylistic devices in both English and Uzbek is comparison, which plays a crucial role in communication, literature, and everyday language. Comparison, whether explicit or implied, allows speakers and writers to highlight similarities and differences, drawing attention to qualities, actions, or ideas in a vivid and expressive manner. Keywords: differences, similarities, language, Stylistic characteristic, linguistic A silence would be a lonely world. To listen, to answer, to share our thought and ideas through speech and hearing this is one of the most exciting ports of being human. It is no doubt true that students grow toward maturity and independence of thought as they progress through the grades; but this growth is not as a rule a sharp and sudden one, nor does the psychology of the students undergo any great change during the various levels of the fundamental principles that underlie the work of the University remain the same from year to year. The need in every level is to bring about academic growth by providing near and broader experiences. While working at school found out how difficult for the students of the secondary school, definite the national groups, to learn English, because there are no prepositions in Uzbek, but in English we have. If we talk about gender we have, of Выпуск журнала №-24 Часть–4_ Апрель –2025 245 MODERN EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT course some similarities. And when, I tried them to explain some examples in comparison they learned those words better than I thought. In both English and Uzbek, comparison is achieved through various means, including conjunctions, adverbs, and affixes. While the underlying concept of comparison remains the same in both languages, the structures and stylistic features that convey these comparisons vary significantly. English relies heavily on conjunctions and prepositions, while Uzbek employs a combination of auxiliary words, suffixes, and participles to convey comparative meaning. These differences reflect the unique stylistic traits of each language and how speakers and writers employ comparison to enrich their expressions. This paper aims to explore the stylistic characteristics of comparison in both English and Uzbek, analyzing how each language uses comparative structures to convey meaning. The study will also highlight the similarities and differences between the two languages, providing a comparative framework for understanding the role of comparison in stylistic expression. By examining various forms of comparison, including equality, inequality, and concession, this paper will provide a deeper understanding of how comparison functions as a powerful stylistic device in both languages. The forms of speech in both English and Uzbek share several similarities and differences, particularly in how they express meaning, structure sentences, and use various linguistic elements. Below is an overview of the main differences and similarities:1 Similarities: Basic Sentence Structure: Both languages follow similar basic sentence structures, such as Subject-Verb- Object (SVO) for declarative sentences. Example in English: She reads a book. Example in Uzbek: U kitob o'qiydi. Use of Adjectives and Adverbs: 1 Saussure, F. de. (1916). Course in General Linguistics. McGraw-Hill.

Example in English: She sings beautifully. Example in Uzbek: U go'zal kuylaydi. Pronouns: Both languages use personal pronouns, though they may differ in form and usage. Example in English: I, you, he, she, we, they. Example in Uzbek: Men, sen, u, biz, siz, ular. Tenses and Aspect: Both languages express tenses (past, present, future) and aspects (perfect, progressive) to show when an action takes place or whether it is completed. Example in English: She has finished her homework. (Present Perfect) Example in Uzbek: U uy vazifasini tugatgan. (Present Perfect) Use of Conjunctions: Both languages have conjunctions (such as "and," "but," "because") to connect words, phrases, or clauses.

Example in Uzbek: Men charchadim, lekin ishlashni davom ettiraman.2 Differences: Word Order: English: Primarily follows a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) word order. Uzbek: Primarily follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order, though the word order is more flexible due to the case system. Example in English: I love reading. Example in Uzbek: Men o'qishni sevaman. Use of Cases: English: Lacks a rich case system; word order and prepositions usually indicate grammatical relations. 2 Crystal, D. (2008).
