The medical thriller genre occupies a distinctive position within contemporary popular literature due to its interdisciplinary nature, combining elements of medicine, science, crime, and suspense. This article aims to investigate the linguopoetic and conceptual features of the medical thriller genre through a comparative analysis of English and Uzbek literary texts. The study focuses on the stylistic devices, narrative strategies, and conceptual frameworks that shape the genre’s expressive power and emotional impact. Special attention is paid to medical terminology, metaphorical language, suspense-building techniques, and culturally specific conceptual metaphors. The research adopts a qualitative methodology based on linguistic, stylistic, and conceptual analysis of selected texts. The findings demonstrate that while English medical thrillers emphasize technical precision and fast-paced narration, Uzbek adaptations and translations tend to foreground emotional intensity and moral evaluation. The article contributes to genre studies and comparative linguistics by highlighting the interaction between language, culture, and genre-specific conventions in medical thrillers.
