THE PHENOMENON OF ANTITHESIS AND METAPHOR IN KHURSHID DAVRON’S POETRY AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE IN LINGUISTICS

Abstract

ABSTRACT

    Within the realm of artistic creation, the author employs a diverse range of comparisons and linguistic elements as a means to articulate their unique perspectives. Through an examination of the works of poet Khurshid Davron, it becomes evident that historical context, alongside national ethos, assumes a central position. The poet adeptly employs various linguistic elements to convey their historical, social, and national convictions, thereby enriching their lexicon with a tapestry of nuance and diversity. Moreover, the interplay between language and literature is intricately woven throughout their oeuvre. The poet's verses lucidly elucidate the presence of rare poetic devices, such as oxymoronic juxtapositions like "stone tears," "clear sadness," "silent storm," and "sad joy," which serve to illuminate the intrinsic essence of natural phenomena, societal events, and the intricacies of human character, by means of comparison and contrast. In this article, particular emphasis is placed upon delving into the emotional intricacies of the human psyche, employing linguistic phenomena such as metaphor, antithesis, oxymoron, and repetition, which manifest themselves within poetic texts.
