Comparative Linguostylistic Analysis of English And Uzbek Literary Discourse
Abstract
The article focuses on a comparative linguostylistic analysis of English and Uzbek literary discourse. It examines linguistic and stylistic features in works by English authors Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice), Ernest Hemingway (The Old Man and the Sea), and George Orwell (1984), alongside Uzbek writers Abdulla Qodiriy (Past Days), O‘tkir Hoshimov (Between Two Doors), and Abdulla Qahhor (Mirage). At the lexical level, metaphors, epithets, emotional vocabulary, and culture-specific units are analyzed; at the syntactic level, sentence length and structure, parataxis versus hypotaxis, inversion, and the balance between dialogue and narration; stylistic devices include imagery, symbolism, repetition, irony, and the author’s narrative voice; discourse features encompass narrative perspective, character speech representation, implicit versus explicit expression, and cultural communicative style.
