Aesthetic nomination in linguistics (using the lexeme “melon”)

INTRODUCTION. In recent years, linguistics has seen a significant increase in scholarly interest in general problems of nomination. Modern linguistic theory is characterized by a broad understanding of this phenomenon and a desire for its comprehensive study. Additionally, specific issues are examined using material from specific languages. The aim of the study is to identify the linguacultural specificity of figurative nominations of melon in the Uzbek linguistic picture of the world. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study is conducted using the author‟s card index, which includes nominations of melon. Lexical material is collected using continuous sampling from fiction, journalism, folklore sources, as well as data from modern internet communications and regional lexicographic sources. The methods of lexical-semantic and contextual analysis, continuous sampling, as well as the generally accepted classification of lexical units by their meaning and a cognitive-aesthetic approach were applied. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. The process of designating fragments of extralinguistic reality with linguistic units, inextricably linked to the formation of the concept of “melon”, is analyzed. In this process, the natural properties of the denotation are reflected indirectly, but rather in a transformed form, conditioned by the cultural conditioning of linguistic nomination, communicative needs, associative connections, and the characteristics of cognitive perception. CONCLUSION. A classification of nomination types for the lexeme “melon” is proposed, developed with consideration of a cognitive-aesthetic approach. It is based on a distinction between nomination types based on the dominant mode of perception of reality and the predominant aesthetic function.
