Linguopoetic features of artistic and figurative means used in the poetry of Ibrayim Yusupov

Abstract

Language is one of the most important forms of human activity—it serves not only as a means of communication but also as a key vehicle for expressing a people’s cultural heritage, way of thinking, and social consciousness. Language reflects a nation's spiritual world, historical memory, customs, moral views, lifestyle, and worldview. Thus, it is not without reason that language is often called the mirror of culture. In literature especially, language plays a crucial role in reflecting life artistically, conveying national identity, and preserving spiritual and cultural continuity across generations.

LINGUOPOETIC FEATURES OF ARTISTIC AND FIGURATIVE MEANS USED IN THE

POETRY OF IBRAYIM YUSUPOV

Language is one of the most important forms of human activity—it serves not only as a means of

communication but also as a key vehicle for expressing a people’s cultural heritage, way of thinking,
and social consciousness. Language reflects a nation's spiritual world, historical memory, customs,
moral views, lifestyle, and worldview. Thus, it is not without reason that language is often called the
mirror of culture. In literature especially, language plays a crucial role in reflecting life artistically,
conveying national identity, and preserving spiritual and cultural continuity across generations.

In the poetry of Ibrayim Yusupov, these functions are fulfilled effectively through the use of

stylistic devices. The poet masterfully utilizes the expressive potential of language to vividly portray
traditional lifestyles, emotional experiences, national customs, and values. In particular, metaphors,
metonymies, and synecdoches are used to create deeply meaningful imagery in his poems.

Through metaphors, Yusupov expresses abstract ideas using concrete imagery. For example:

Ota, narvon bo‘pti anov qo‘sh terak!

Bolam, terak emas, bu umr-ku, bu!

(Qadirdon so‘qmoqlar)

– Father, that twin poplar has become a ladder!
– My child, that’s not just a tree, that’s life itself!

Here, the “twin poplar” serves as a symbol of the parents, while the “ladder” metaphorically

represents the path of life that leads a child toward growth. The poet draws philosophical meaning
from a simple tree, showcasing the power of poetic imagery.

Another example:

Izlayman, tinmasdan varaqlab kitob,

Elning so‘zlariga quloq solaman.

(Izlayman)

I search, endlessly leafing through books,

I listen closely to the people’s words.

In these lines, the images of “searching” and “leafing through books” represent a spiritual quest,

a thirst for knowledge, and the pursuit of truth. Through metaphor, the poet leads the reader toward
deep contemplation.

Yusupov also frequently uses metonymy. This technique substitutes a word with another that is

closely related in meaning. For instance:

Burilishda tanish qo‘shig‘in kuylab,

Qo‘shni qiz oldimdan chiqib qolarday.

(Qadirdon so‘qmoqlar)

Hearing a familiar song at the bend,

It feels like the neighbor girl will appear again.

Here, the “neighbor girl” represents not just a specific person but an entire childhood period,

innocence, and purity. The familiar song signifies a longing for the past and cherished memories.

Another example:

“Qoraqalpoq yaxshi xalq-da!” deganda,

Bobom yechib berib ketgan chakmonin.

(Qoraqalpoqni ko‘p maqtama ko‘zimcha)

When someone says, “The Karakalpaks are a great people!”

I think of the coat my grandfather left me.

The word “coat” here refers not to a literal garment, but to the entire cultural heritage, customs,

and continuity passed down through generations.

Synecdoche, the literary device where a part is used to represent the whole or vice versa, is also

present in Yusupov’s work. This technique deepens the emotional and poetic meaning of his verses:

Cholga salom bersam o‘sha so‘qmoqda,

“Kimsan?” deb tanimay menga qaradi.

(Qadirdon so‘qmoqlar)

I greeted an old man on that same path,

He looked at me and asked, “Who are you?”

Here, the “old man” represents not just an individual elder, but an entire generation—a symbol

of historical memory. The poet reflects on themes of humanity, forgetting, and the passage of time.

Another image:

“Ko‘ngil - yo‘l bo‘yida o‘sgan bir eman.”

Tuyg‘u - buloq aytar shan rivoyatlar. (Qatarlar)

The heart – an oak growing by the roadside.

Emotion – a spring that tells sacred legends.

In this example, the “oak” tree metaphorically symbolizes a person’s patience, endurance, and

strength. The “heart” is likened to a plant, with human virtues being artistically expressed through
imagery from nature.

In conclusion, the poetry of Ibrayim Yusupov demonstrates the deep and unique expressive power

of language. Through the skillful use of metaphor, metonymy, and synecdoche, he vividly conveys
national values, folk imagery, and life’s truths with sincerity and depth. His poetry reflects the intrinsic
connection between language and culture and highlights the aesthetic significance of linguistic and
poetic tools. Through Yusupov’s verse, we experience not only the beauty of the art of words but also
the spiritual richness of our people.

linguistic categories of future and modality in English-speaking countries through the study of poetry.
