This article analyzes distinguished peculiarity of stress in Uzbek and English linguistically. Like other components of prosody, sentence stress refers to the emphasis placed on specific words within a phrase that often conveys the speaker's intention, grammatical hierarchy and organization of information. In English, the content words that generally receive sentence stress are nouns, main verbs, adjectives, and adverbs: they contrast in form with function words (including pronouns) and are also crucial for distinguishing between what is given information and news. In Turkish since it is an agglutinative language, the stress differs due to its syntax. The study looks at the function of sentence stress in each language, highlighting typological differences and similarities. Using some selected examples in different sentences, the analysis shows how intonational and stress patterns reinforce meaning and communicative clarity.
