STYLISTIC AND SEMANTIC PARAMETERS OF LITERARY CONCEPTUALIZATION

This paper explores the phenomenon of the literary concept as a cognitively grounded construct embedded within the author’s mental and cultural framework. It argues that such concepts arise at the intersection of collective cultural experience and individual creative consciousness. The study demonstrates that literary concepts are not static entities but dynamic formations shaped through linguistic choices, stylistic strategies, and personalized semantic modeling.

Special attention is given to poetic texts, where conceptual structures become particularly flexible and capable of producing layered meanings. In this context, the author’s emotional state and worldview are encoded within the concept and further transformed through reader interpretation. The notion of idiostyle is examined as an individualized semantic configuration that reflects the author’s unique method of organizing language.

Through a comparative examination of poetic representations in works by Abdulla Oripov and Muhammad Yusuf, the research reveals how identical lexical units may generate fundamentally different conceptual outcomes. The findings highlight the importance of stylistic and cognitive mechanisms in shaping meaning and contribute to ongoing discussions in cognitive stylistics regarding the interaction between language, thought, and cultural identity.
