The Use of Metaphors in Children's Poetry of the Period of Independence (On the Example of Poems by A. Obidjon, O. Damin, D. Rajab)

Abstract

Metaphor plays a crucial role in literature and speech, enhancing imagery and promoting effective communication. M. Yuldoshev categorizes metaphors into three groups: typical metaphors, revitalization metaphors, and synesthetic metaphors. These metaphors not only influence objects, events, and phenomena but also impact the psyche of the lyrical hero and shape the reader's understanding of situations. Metaphorical units facilitate in-depth analysis of speech units and contribute to the emergence of new words and meanings in language. Poets like Anvar Abizhan, Olgor Damin, and Dilshad Rajab skillfully employ metaphors, creating complex and harmonious structural-semantic relationships. Metaphors in children's poetry aim to develop intellect, evoke emotions, and teach important lessons. The synesthetic form of metaphor is particularly common, requiring children to engage with the world and events around them. The use of metaphors in poetry expands speech consciousness, stimulates the imagination, and creates a new world in the minds of children. The combination of linguistic and artistic elements in metaphors highlights the poetic skill of the poet, while the primacy of emotional cognition contributes to the formation of vivid and memorable poetic works. The study of metaphors helps uncover hidden meanings and deepens our understanding of the poetic system and the poet's artistic world.
