FEATURES OF ARTISTIC LANGUAGE IN ERKIN A’ZAM’S PROSE

Abstract

Dialectal elements, archaisms, neologisms, jargon, and professional vocabulary employed within a literary text function as salient markers that concretize the socio-cultural environment of the character, thereby enhancing referential precision and pragmatic depth. At the same time, wordplay, semantic shifts, and metaphorical transpositions contribute to the stratification of meaning, generating multilayered semantic structures and intensifying the aesthetic impact of the text. In this regard, artistic language transcends its purely communicative function and emerges as a complex semiotic system that encodes national consciousness, cultural memory, and historically accumulated experience in an aesthetically transformed form.
