DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF THE FREE VERSE SYSTEM
Abstract
This article scientifically analyzes the theoretical foundations, developmental stages, and artistic-aesthetic features of the free verse system as one of the significant poetic forms of modern literature. The study examines the distinctive characteristics of free verse in comparison with traditional metrical systems and highlights its internal rhythm, intonation, pauses, and semantic repetitions as essential components of poetic structure. Particular attention is devoted to the development of free verse in world and Uzbek literature, its role in the evolution of poetic thinking, and its contribution to artistic innovation. The research substantiates that free verse represents an important aesthetic phenomenon that broadens the possibilities of creative freedom and artistic expression.
