THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF METAPHORICAL EXPRESSIONS IN E. HEMINGWAY'S A FAREWELL TO ARMS

Аннотация

This paper presents the important role of metaphorical expressions 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 the importance of metaphor in Hemingway’s style and the difficulties translators face in maintaining stylistic authenticity across languages. Keywords: metaphorical expressions, stylistic devices, intercultural communication, comparative analysis, Uzbek translation, modification.
