Animal-related riddles are particularly popular as they use animals' characteristics to create imagery and evoke curiosity. This article presents a comparative syntactic analysis of animal-related riddles in English and Uzbek, focusing on sentence structure, word order, and stylistic devices. The syntactic structure of animal-related riddles often involves interrogative forms, inverted word order, and figurative language. For example: English Riddles "What has four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening?" This riddle uses a question form with a temporal adverbial clause and a list structure. "What has a head and a tail, but no body?" This riddle uses a question with a relative clause. Uzbek Riddles "To‘rt oyog‘i bor, lekin u yugurmaydi." (It has four legs but does not run.) This riddle uses a simple declarative sentence with a coordinating clause. "Qorni bor, lekin ovqat yemaydi." (It has a belly but does not eat.) This riddle uses a simple declarative sentence with an adversative clause. In English riddles, interrogative sentences and relative clauses are common, often posing questions that require metaphorical thinking. In Uzbek riddles, declarative sentences with contrasting clauses are frequently used, creating a sense of mystery through description rather than direct questioning. The syntactic patterns reflect the linguistic tendencies of each language, such as English's flexibility with word order and Uzbek's use of descriptive parallel structures.
