Abstract

Some of the auxiliary parts of speech, in addition to playing a key role in the structural semantics of the text, become homonyms and act as an important element in the semantic completion of the text. Therefore, the role of homonym words in texts is given sufficient importance, and their participation in the process of form creation is consciously ensured. In addition, it also finds a way to participate in the enrichment of the vocabulary of the poetic language in terms of expressionand content. Taking into account the criterion of artistic quality, word artists have given primary importance to the exponents of concepts that have no semantic connection with each other or have long lost their meaning connections – homonyms. For many years, such urgent problems as the functional semantics of auxiliary parts of speech in folklore language, their normative-stylistic characteristics and homonymity have been outside the scope of research in our linguistics, and when discussing both the poetic functionality of literary language materials and folklore language, the role of auxiliary parts of speech in the expression of artistic thought has not been widely discussed. However, these speech elements also play an important role in organizing poetic speech, giving it a figurative form, strengthening semantics, and, in short, regulating speech acts in the sphere of art.
