Keywords:
Translation, metaphor, stylistics, Uzbek literature, equivalence, imagery, toneAbstract
This paper analyzes the stylistic features of the Uzbek novel “Yulduzli
tunlar” by Primqul Qodirov and its English translation (Starry Nights). The study
focuses on metaphor, tone, sentence structure, and imagery. It examines how these
elements are preserved or altered in translation. The findings show that while the
semantic meaning is largely maintained, the poetic richness and emotional nuance of
the original text are partially reduced in translation.
