Abstract
Abstract: The linguocognitive analysis of linguistic units in Uzbek and English that depict litota is the subject of this essay. Litota sharpens the meaning of words and phrases in order to discriminate, concentrating on particular occurrences by lessening their indicators. Because litota is the opposite of hyperbola in this respect, it is frequently referred to as "reverse hyperbola." Litota is frequently employed for moral purposes: it is possible to develop a favorable impression of something by being humble and downplaying one's accomplishments.
