Keywords:

the article examines the phenomenon of stylistic loss and compensation in the translation between Uzbek and English. Stylistic loss occurs when expressive, emotional, or aesthetic elements of the source text are partially or fully omitted in translation due to linguistic, cultural, or structural differences between languages. Compensation is viewed as a translation strategy aimed at restoring the stylistic effect by alternative linguistic means. Using a comparative linguostylistic approach, the study analyzes typical cases of stylistic loss and the compensatory techniques employed to preserve functional and aesthetic equivalence. The findings demonstrate that effective translation depends not on formal correspondence but on the translator’s ability to reconstruct stylistic impact within the norms of the target language.
