The Study of Antithesis in Parmelogical Units on The Example of English And Uzbekistan

Аннотация

This scientific article examines the use of antithesis in paremiological units, specifically proverbs, in English and Uzbek languages. As a rhetorical device, antithesis enhances the expressive power of proverbs by juxtaposing contrasting ideas within a concise structure. Through comparative analysis, the study identifies the structural, semantic, and cultural dimensions of antithetical proverbs, highlighting their role in conveying universal truths and cultural values. Employing a qualitative methodology, selected proverbs from both languages are analyzed to reveal patterns and differences in the application of antithesis. The findings indicate that while both languages utilize antithesis to emphasize moral and philosophical insights, cultural context shapes the choice of imagery and thematic focus. The research contributes to cross-linguistic paremiology and underscores the significance of proverbs as cultural artifacts. This work elucidates universal and culture-specific features, aiding in the understanding of rhetorical strategies.
