This article provides a comparative analysis of the linguistic and linguistic features of English and Uzbek folklore in order to identify common features and differences that characterize these cultural forms of expression. The study carefully examines the narrative structures, stylistic elements and linguistic strategies used in folk texts of both languages. Based on the results of the analysis, significant differences caused by cultural and historical contexts are highlighted, and significant parallels in themes, archetypes and narrative methods are revealed. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how language and culture interact in the process of folklore formation.
