This article presents a comparative analogous of stylistic devices in the Uzbek and English languages. It explores how literary and rhetorical techniques function across the two linguistic and cultural frameworks. The study highlights similarities and differences in the use of metaphors, similes, alliteration, hyperbole, and other stylistic tools commonly employed in literary texts. Through textual analysis of selected works from both languages, the research aims to show how stylistic devices reflect cultural values, discourse-based goals, and aesthetic preferences. The findings provide to cross-linguistic stylistic studies and offer insights for translators, linguists, and literary scholars.
