This thesis analyzes the stylistic possibilities of emoji units, which are actively used in digital communication, in particular, their functional mechanisms in creating expressiveness and imagery. The study aims to identify the linguopoetic features of emoji characters, their impact on the semantics of the text, and the specifics of their use in English and Uzbek discourse. The results show that emoji units are actively used as a stylistic tool in modern written speech, significantly enriching the emotional-expressive and figurative layer of the text.
