COMPARATIVE STUDY OF STYLISTIC DEVICES IN UZBEK AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES

Аннотация

This article presents a comparative analysis of stylistic devices in the Uzbek and English languages. Stylistic devices such as metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, and irony play a key role in enriching the emotional and artistic quality of both spoken and written language. The Uzbek and English languages belong to different linguistic families—Turkic and Germanic, respectively—yet they share a wide range of stylistic tools. However, their use and cultural implications often differ. This paper explores how these devices function in both languages and how cultural background influences their application. The goal is to assist language learners and literature enthusiasts in recognizing and appreciating the use of stylistic techniques across languages.
