This study investigates the representation and realization of socio-cultural relationships in Uzbek and English literary texts, focusing on specific linguistic and narrative elements. The paper identifies key expressions, metaphors, and interactions that reflect social and cultural exchanges by analyzing various literary works from diverse historical and cultural contexts. The findings highlight that these linguistic and narrative units convey societal values and norms and are essential for understanding Uzbek and English literature's relational dynamics and themes. These units offer critical insights into how literature reflects, critiques, and shapes socio-cultural identities, emphasizing the role of language in constructing and negotiating social structures. Ultimately, the study underscores the importance of literary texts as cultural artefacts that contribute to forming and transmitting collective identities and values. Through a comparative approach, the paper sheds light on the different ways these two literary traditions engage with and portray socio-cultural relationships, offering valuable perspectives on the intersection of language, culture, and literature.
