METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH
Some stylistic devices were used in translation of this article from English to uzbek.
There are three stylistic devices:
1. phonetic stylistic devices
2. syntactical stylistic devices
3. lexical stylistic devices
Phonetic stylistic devices
: onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is usually defined as a sequence of sounds (a word) which imitates non-
verbal sounds produced in nature by things, people or animals.
“Okay.” He didn`t think much of her silence. He just kept on driving as he hummed a sweet
little jazz number.
The word “hummed” is an onomatopoeia. This word imitates the sound of sing.
He looked out his rear view mirror and accelerated a little.
There is an onomatopoeia. The verb “accelerated” imitates speed up.

Her heart fluttered. “And okay, I`ll remember her name and I`ll get back to you on that.”
The word “fluttered” is an onomatopoeia. This word imitates diastole. So, we can use this
word as onomatopoeic word.
Her hands clapped, and her left foot pressed against the base of James car.
In this sentence has two onomatopoeic words. Firstly, the word “clapped” is an
onomatopoeic word. Because it is the sound of hands. Secondly, the verb “pressed” is the sound
of foot.
His words carefully exited his lips and his eyes tensed a little as if he had something else
to say.
The word “tensed” is an onomatopoeic word, because it imitates eyes.
The stylistic side of translation (and writing to some extent) plays one of the biggest roles
in providing readership with a proper equivalent of fiction.
Stylistic inversion is usually defined as an intentional change of a typical word order in an
utterance, the aim of which is to attract the attention of the reader.
“I`m kidding, you know you can`t find a decent cup of coffee anywhere in the city.” He
smiled again.
The writer attracted the word “kidding” to the attention of the reader.
“Shoot, I left my car at work! Shoot! Her hands clapped, and her left foot pressed against
the base of James car.
The writer attracted the word “shoot” to the attention of the reader.
“Some matches”, he said as he took an old box of matches out and lit the cigarette up.
The writer attracted the word “some matches” to the attention of the reader.
“Prodigly,” he said as his head rocked back and forth.
Syntactical stylistic devices: aposiopesis
Aposiopesis, also known as break-in-the narrative, aims at intentionally breaking off parts
of the sentence to convey emotionality of the speaker.
“That sounds like fun. I hope you enjoy yourself.” She took a few steps closer to the cashier.
“Yeah… I hope so, too.”
The word “yeah...”
i
s an aposiopesis. Here the author omits the second part of the
phrase, which is rather easy to predict.
“Angela…” he said as Billie Holiday played is the backdrop.
The word “Angela…” is an aposiopesis
“Hello,” said a woman on the other end.
“Hello…” said James.
The word “Hello…” is an aposiopesis
“Because ever since I saw you, I knew, and I knew I would find you. To tell you…”
The sentence “to tell you…” is an aposiopesis
Lexical stylistic devices: interjection
Interjections are a means to represent spoken language variety in literature as they mostly
deal with the emotions of the speakers expressed by either or longer words in the course of speech.
“I got one!” he shouted in victory as if he had just won a contest.
“Got what?”

“Some matches,” he said as he took an old box of matches out and lit the cigarette up.
The sentence “Got what?” is an interjection.
“Scarlett!” He approached her from the middle of the street.
Lexical stylistic devices: euphemism is a stylistic device which aims at re-naming an
unpleasant or unacceptable word.
“Oh God, this was clearly a mistake. I`m so sorry for asking.” She quickly turned away
and fumbled to open the car door.
Religious euphemisms are very common. The word “Oh God” is a religious euphemism.
“Shoot, I left my car at work! Shoot! Her hands clapped, and her left foot pressed against
the base of James car.
The word “shoot” is euphemism.
CONCLUSION
Translation as such is a demanding task which requires the translator be able to tackle many
issues that arise during the process.
In order to successfully convey the intended ideas the translator has to take stylistics into
consideration as this branch of linguistics plays a big role in presenting a natural and
understandable equivalent of the original book to readership.
