LINGUOPOETIC AND SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF JAVLON JOVLIYEV'S WORK 'KAUFMAN AND RED TEARS

Аннотация

This article presents an analysis of Javlon Jovliyev’s short story “Kaufman and the Red Tears”, authored by one of the prominent figures of contemporary Uzbek literature, through the lenses of linguopoetic, semiotic, and metaphorical approaches. The aim of the research is to identify the semantic and aesthetic functions of poetic devices such as metaphor, epithet, allusion, and syntactic inversion, as well as to scientifically interpret the deeper meaning layers of images and symbolic elements within the literary text. Using the theatrical metaphor model, the study examines the story’s dramatic structure, role shifts, and elements of theatricality. The research relies on qualitative analytical methods; through component analysis, content analysis, and semantic modeling, the poetic structures are specified. The results demonstrate that the author successfully harmonizes traditional Uzbek literary aesthetics with modern stylistic tendencies, expressing cultural and spiritual layers through symbolic representations. This article proposes methodological innovations that reveal new tendencies in post–Soviet Uzbek literature.
