Abstract

This article analyzes the lexemes of Lison ut-Tayr by Alisher Navoi from lexical-semantic and linguopoetic perspectives. The study examines the semantic layers of lexical units used in the work, their connection with Sufi terminology, symbolic and metaphorical features, and their artistic functions. Based on the text of the work, the semantic fields of key lexemes such as love (ishq), Truth (Haq), path (yo‘l), journey (safar), heart (ko‘ngil), and bird (qush) were identified and their contextual meanings were analyzed. Lexical-semantic, contextual, comparative-historical, and statistical methods were used in the research. The results show that the vocabulary of Lison ut-Tayr was formed through the integration of Turkic, Arabic, and Persian layers, creating a linguistic expression of Sufi philosophy. In the work, lexemes function not only as nominative units but also as carriers of philosophical and aesthetic meaning. The findings of the research have important scholarly significance for the linguistic analysis of classical literary texts, the study of historical Uzbek lexicology, and the style of Navoi’s language.
