This study examines the structural features of inversion in English and Uzbek belles-lettres (literary) texts. Inversion, defined as the deviation from the standard word order of a sentence, serves as an important stylistic device that enhances expressiveness, emphasis, and artistic effect in literary language. The research focuses on identifying and comparing the syntactic patterns of inversion in English and Uzbek fiction, analyzing how authors employ this device to highlight specific elements of a sentence, create rhythm, and convey emotional or aesthetic nuances.
The paper analyzes examples from selected English and Uzbek literary works to determine the most common structural models of inversion and their stylistic functions. Special attention is given to differences and similarities between the two languages, considering their typological characteristics and grammatical structures. The findings demonstrate that while inversion in English is often constrained by grammatical rules and used primarily for stylistic emphasis, Uzbek inversion shows greater flexibility due to the language’s agglutinative structure and relatively free word order. The study contributes to the fields of comparative linguistics and stylistics by revealing how inversion operates in two linguistically different systems and by highlighting its role in shaping the expressive potential of belles-lettres texts.
