Abstract

This study examines the role of lexical economy and stylistic devices in educational discourse in Uzbek and English. Lexical economy refers to the use of clear and concise language, while stylistic devices help make information more engaging and understandable. The research is based on examples from textbooks and classroom communication. The results show that both languages aim for clarity, but differ slightly in expressiveness. The study concludes that combining brevity with stylistic richness improves learning effectiveness.
