(Abstract) This study proposes a style-aware paraphrasing approach for the Uzbek language, with a focus on mythological and scientific discourse. Uzbek, a low-resource and morphologically rich language, poses specific challenges for paraphrase generation, especially across functional styles. We present a hybrid system combining rule-based methods with fine-tuned multilingual transformer models (mBART, T5) trained on a custom-built parallel corpus of Uzbek texts. Our evaluation demonstrates that transformer-based models significantly outperform rule-based baselines in terms of fluency, semantic preservation, and stylistic accuracy. This research contributes to low-resource NLP and opens new directions for computationally processing culturally embedded narratives in Central Asian languages.
