This article investigates the use of symbolism and allegory in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies through the prism of parallel corpus analysis. While the novel has traditionally been examined through moral, psychological, and philosophical lenses, this study introduces a corpus-informed perspective to explore how symbolic meanings are linguistically constructed and reinforced across different textual realizations. By comparing selected passages from the original English text with parallel translated versions, the research identifies recurrent lexical patterns and metaphorical structures associated with key symbols such as the conch, the fire, and the Beast. The findings demonstrate that symbolism in Lord of the Flies is not only thematic but also deeply embedded in recurrent linguistic choices, which strengthens the novel’s allegorical representation of civilization, power, and human nature.

The findings contribute to cognitive linguistics, paremiology, and cross-cultural studies, highlighting both universal and culture-specific aspects of color symbolism in proverbs.

George Orwell, a master of political allegory and dystopian fiction, uses symbolism extensively in his novels "1984" and "Animal Farm" to critique totalitarian regimes and explore themes of power, control, and corruption.

This paper examines the dual themes of sadness and hope in T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land (1922), one of the most influential modernist poems of the twentieth century. Written in the aftermath of World War I, the poem captures the profound sense of despair, fragmentation, and loss that defined the modern world. However, beneath its melancholy tone and chaotic imagery lies a subtle yet persistent longing for renewal and spiritual rebirth. This research explores how Eliot juxtaposes emotional desolation with moments of transcendence, using myth, symbolism, and religious references to suggest the possibility of redemption. The study concludes that The Waste Land portrays sadness not as an end in itself but as a necessary stage in the journey toward spiritual regeneration and hope.

This paper presents a feminist literary analysis of the wife’s character in Abdulla Qahhor’s short story Anor (The Pomegranate). Many interpretations describe the story mainly as a picture of poverty and social hardship. This study challenges that view. Using materialist feminist theory, it argues that the wife’s suffering is gender-based, not only economic. The analysis uses close reading to examine characterization, the domestic setting, plot development, narrative point of view, and literary devices such as symbolism, metaphor, irony, and foreshadowing. These elements show that the wife is a marginalized and silenced figure. Special attention is given to her pregnancy, which makes her more vulnerable, and her desire for pomegranates becomes a symbol of denied bodily needs. The study shows that verbal, emotional, and physical violence work together as forms of patriarchal control. As a result, “provision” is presented ironically as something achieved through force. By focusing on the wife’s experience, this paper rereads Anor as a subtle critique of patriarchal marriage and adds to feminist readings of Uzbek realist literature.

Literature serves as a powerful medium to explore human emotions, social realities, and existential struggles. This study presents a comparative analysis of "The Last Leaf" by O. Henry and "Bemor" by Abdulla Qahhor, focusing on their thematic concerns, narrative techniques, and symbolic representations.

This paper investigates the phenomenon of intersemiotic translation—the process of transferring meaning between verbal and visual codes—within English and Uzbek media discourse. The study focuses on how visual symbols such as colors, gestures, and imagery are culturally encoded and reinterpreted in translation across two linguistic and semiotic systems. Using examples from online news portals and advertising materials, the research identifies three types of transformations: iconic adaptation, cultural reinterpretation, and semiotic substitution. Findings reveal that while English media relies heavily on metaphorical imagery and connotative symbolism, Uzbek translations tend to prioritize explicit verbal explanation and cultural domestication. The paper argues that successful translation in multimodal communication requires not only linguistic equivalence but also visual-cultural literacy. This approach contributes to comparative translation studies by extending the scope of analysis beyond words to multimodal meaning-making processes.

Hybridization, the blending of elements from different linguistic or cultural systems, is particularly evident in proverbs due to their reliance on metaphor, syntax, and cultural symbolism.
