Trope, compliment, metaphorAbstract
The article analyzes the semantic and pragmatic functions of tropes in literary compliments in Ulugbek Hamdam’s novel Muvozanat. The study examines 18 examples of compliments selected from the novel using semantic-pragmatic, contextual, and comparative methods. The results show that tropes such as metaphor, metonymy, hyperbole, simile, and epithet enhance the emotional and expressive impact of compliments, while their selection depends on the social context of communication. The findings may be used in studies of stylistics, linguopoetics, pragmatics, and speech etiquette.
