This article explores linguistic and stylistic tools that contribute to
the development of figurative thinking in Uzbek and English languages. It analyzes the
role of metaphor, metonymy, epithet, phraseological units, and other expressive means
in expanding cognitive scope and enhancing aesthetic and logical reasoning. The
influence of structural and cultural differences between the two languages on figurative
expression is also discussed. The findings have practical value for both language
teaching and translation studies.
