This article examines the structural-semantic characteristics of grammatical and lexical collocations and their interaction in English and Uzbek literary discourse. Uzbek manifests a stronger tendency toward grammatical collocations influenced by agglutinative morphology and postpositional constructions. The findings contribute to contrastive linguistics, translation studies, and pedagogical approaches for language teaching, highlighting the importance of understanding collocation patterns for effective cross-linguistic communication and literary translation.
