This study examines periphrasis in English and Uzbek, focusing on its main types and stylistic functions. Periphrasis is an indirect way of naming a person, object, or idea through a descriptive or figurative expression. The research uses comparative, descriptive, and stylistic methods to analyze examples from English and Uzbek texts. Particular attention is given to traditional and genuine, logical and figurative periphrases, including metaphorical and metonymic forms. The findings show that periphrasis is widely used in both languages to create imagery, express evaluation, soften meanings, and emphasize particular features of a referent. While traditional periphrases may become fixed expressions, genuine periphrases usually depend on context. The study also reveals that linguistic and cultural differences influence the use and interpretation of periphrasis in English and Uzbek.
