Abstract
This article deals with the issues based on analyzing the poetic actualization of modal expressions in Uzbek and English novels from the perspectives of comparative stylistics, linguistic modality, and literary discourse analysis. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which modal verbs, epistemic markers, deontic constructions, and evaluative expressions acquire additional aesthetic and pragmatic meanings in fictional narratives. Comparative examples reveal that Uzbek and English literary traditions employ different grammatical resources to represent similar subjective attitudes, while their stylistic effects depend on narrative context, cultural conventions, and authorial intention.
