The article explores the syntactic-stylistic figures in English, German, and Uzbek, analyzing their linguocultural characteristics. It emphasizes how each language's use of stylistic units is influenced by cultural and historical factors, which shape their linguistic aspects. The paper focuses on anaphora, epiphora, parallelism, and inversion, detailing how these figures are used in these three languages, with a particular focus on their semantic connotations. The study concludes that the use of syntactic-stylistic figures differs significantly in each language based on cultural and linguistic features.
The research findings indicate that the English language makes extensive use of stylistic figures to emphasize logical stress (sentence stress) and enhance expressiveness. Despite its strict syntactic structures, the German language actively employs such figures in poetic and formal styles, while the Uzbek language stands out for its widespread use of syntactic-stylistic figures in folk oral literature and poetic genres.
