Abstract

“Poetic linguistics” is a branch of science that studies the poetic manifestations and aesthetic aspects of language. This branch of linguistics studies how and for what purpose words and expressions in language are used in poetic works. Poetic linguistics, unlike the natural and functional use of language, emphasizes the methods of artistic use of language materials.In this process, it also studies how the structure of language is changed for creative purposes. The science of “poetic linguistics” reveals the poetic power of language, its forms of manifestation and structure, and clarifies the relationship between literary figures and the reader or listener. This branch of science studies all poetic elements of language. Poetic linguistics holds special importance in revealing the poetic functions of language, its aesthetic value, and the expressive possibilities of language. The features that form the basis of the language of poetry are studied through the science of poetic linguistics. While traditional linguistics approaches language from a functional and communicative perspective, poetic linguistics studies language facts in relation to their aesthetic, emotional, and philosophical meanings. In this process, the poephonetic, poelexical, poegrammatical aspects of language, its affective pathways, and its internal semantics are clarified. The article examines the purpose, functions, relationships, and scope of poetic linguistics as a scientific discipline.
