The manifestation of lexical economy in English and Uzbek through stylistic means is examined from a comparative
perspective. Unlike traditional structural approaches focused on abbreviations, this study explores how stylistic
devices such as ellipsis, metonymy, synecdoche, and euphemism compress semantic content without reducing the effectiveness
of communication. Through the analysis of literary, conversational, and media discourses, language-specific
mechanisms of lexical economy are identified. The findings indicate that English relies predominantly on structural-functional
reductions and pragmatic ellipses, whereas Uzbek frequently employs contextual implication, morpho-stylistic contractions,
and culturally rooted figurative expressions. The findings contribute to the fields of comparative linguistics,
stylistics, and translation theory.
