LINGUOPOETIC EXPRESSION OF THE COLOR CONCEPT IN FARIDA AFROZ’S POETRY

Abstract

This article examines the linguopoetic expression of the color concept in the poetry of Farida Afroz, one of the distinguished representatives of contemporary Uzbek literature. The study explores how color-related lexical units function as linguistic and artistic devices in conveying emotions, philosophical reflections, and national-cultural values. Particular attention is given to the symbolic meanings of colors, their metaphorical usage, and their contribution to the poet's individual style. The analysis demonstrates that color concepts in Farida Afroz's poetry perform not only descriptive functions but also cognitive, emotional, and aesthetic roles, enriching the semantic structure of poetic discourse
