This study aims to analyze and compare the use of stylistic devices in the Uzbek and English languages. Stylistic devices are essential tools in literature and communication that enhance the expressiveness and emotional impact of language. By examining common figures of speech such as metaphors, similes, personification, and hyperbole, this research highlights similarities and differences in their application in both languages. The comparative approach not only deepens the understanding of linguistic and cultural nuances but also provides valuable insights for translators, language learners, and literary scholars. The study concludes that while some stylistic devices are universal, their frequency and cultural connotations vary significantly between Uzbek and English.
