THE PLACE OF HYPERBOLE IN THE SYSTEM OF STYLISTIC DEVICES

Abstract

This article examines the concept of hyperbole and its role within the system of stylistic devices. Hyperbole is one of the most expressive figurative means used to intensify meaning, emphasize emotions, and create a stronger impact on the reader or listener. The study analyzes the linguistic and stylistic characteristics of hyperbole, its communicative functions, and its relationship with other stylistic devices. Particular attention is paid to the use of hyperbole in literary works, everyday speech, and media discourse. The findings show that hyperbole serves not only as a means of exaggeration but also as an important tool for enhancing expressiveness, imagery, and emotional influence in communication.
