THE ROLE OF CULTURE IN SHAPING STYLISTIC DEVICES: A CASE STUDY OF SIMILE USE IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK POETRY. (2025). Journal of Universal Science Research, 3(4), 496-499. http://universalpublishings.com/index.php/jusr/article/view/12425

Abstract

This paper investigates how simile usage and structure in Uzbek and English poetry are influenced by culture. Simile is a stylistic device that expresses ingrained cultural beliefs, customs, and worldviews in addition to language choices. The study aims to demonstrate how language and culture interact in literary expression by highlighting both universal tendencies and culturally particular elements in simile usage through comparative analysis.
