Annotation:
This article discusses the theoretical foundations of linguistic
poetics, its connection with linguistics and literary studies, as well as the methods of
linguistic analysis of poetic devices in literary texts. Special attention is given to
metaphor, epithets, phraseological units, and syntactic devices, along with their poetic
functions.
Keywords:
linguistic poetics, poetic language, literary text, linguistic devices,
metaphor, imagery.
Introduction:
Linguistic poetics is a scientific approach aimed at the aesthetic
analysis of literary texts using linguistic tools. It is a branch of linguistics that studies
poetic texts and is closely linked to literary studies. The purpose of linguistic poetics
is to uncover the aesthetic meaning and images created by language, as well as to
examine the structure of a literary work through the lens of poetic devices.
Linguistic poetics is not only a separate discipline in linguistics but also an
effective method of scientific analysis of literary works. This approach allows for the
exploration of hidden artistic meanings, images, and aesthetic views of the author
within the text.
Main Body: Linguistic poetics focuses on the study of lexical, grammatical, and
stylistic units in literary texts, determining their poetic functions. The aesthetic value,
emotional impact, and semantic depth of a work are revealed through these linguistic
poetic elements.
Metaphor is one of the most frequently encountered semantic devices in poetic
texts, through which reality is expressed by comparison to other objects. Metaphor
gives the text imagery, emotional depth, and multiplicity of meaning. Metaphors
linguistically enrich the language, enhance the depiction, and make the text more
aesthetically pleasing. Examples can be found in Uzbek literature, such as "the wall of
the heart" or "the bird of thought," which vividly depict emotional states of a person.
An epithet serves as a tool for the aesthetic evaluation of a subject or
phenomenon. In linguistic poetics, epithets contribute to the emotional tone of the text.
They allow for the intensification of an image and the expression of the author's
attitude. Epithets help make the text more vivid and impressive. In Uzbek literature,
many poetic epithets exist that give works aesthetic value.

Phraseological units in the text express national culture, historical
consciousness, and folk imagery. They bring imagery, liveliness, and national spirit to
a work. From a linguistic perspective, phraseological units are stable word
combinations that serve various poetic functions depending on the context.
Inversion, repetition, parallelism, and other syntactic devices are also studied in
linguistic poetics. They play an important role in creating the compositional integrity
of the text, rhythm, and melody. Syntactic devices influence the perception of the text,
making its sound more expressive.
Conclusion: Linguistic poetic analysis provides a scientific approach to the study
of literary texts. This method helps reveal poetic devices, their functional load, and
their impact. The development of linguistic poetics contributes to a deeper
understanding of literary texts and proper perception of the connection between
language and art.
Linguistic poetic analysis not only helps study literary works but also reveals the
peculiarities of Uzbek literature. This scientific approach becomes an important tool in
the field of literary studies, offering new methods for analyzing texts.
