Abstract
The function and role of utopian and dystopian concepts in English and Uzbek literary writings are examined in this study. It looks at their contextual meanings, semantic structure, and ideological undertones in various linguistic and cultural contexts. Particular focus is placed on how utopian and dystopian vocabulary contributes to the creation of imagined futures in literature and reflects social ideals, political tensions, and collective anxieties. Additionally, the study emphasizes comparative elements of translation, demonstrating how linguistic decisions affect how utopian and dystopian ideas are understood in the two languages.
