Keywords:
gradation, scaling, paradigmatic system, syntagmatic structure, stylistic expression, comparative linguisticsAbstract
This article provides a lexical, morphological, syntactic, and stylistic analysis of the expressive means of gradation in English and Uzbek. The author studies, from a comparative perspective, how gradation is formed within paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations, how it is expressed in both languages, and how it is perceived in cultural context. The article highlights methods of increasing emotional load, enhancing imagery, and creating stylistic effects through gradation, supported by examples.
