Abstract: This article examines the semantic units that create the image in the stories of Utkir 

Hoshimov. It is evidenced that the author was able to create a character using linguistic units, to 

use various language tools to create a memorable and vivid character image, to deepen the 

psyche of characters, to use various details, images of natural phenomena, external factors 

addressed in order to fill his character..  

Keywords: semantic units, image, figurative concepts, linguistic units, character, speech, 

linguistic personality. 

 

The study of linguistic personalities in linguistics allows us to understand how a person uses 

language to express his thoughts, feelings and views, as well as how language reflects the social, 

cultural and individual characteristics of an individual. 

The concept of” linguistic identity " is important for linguistic research, as it allows analyzing 

the ways characters use language in fiction, to determine the relationship between language and 

character identities. Studying the colloquial portrait of heroes helps to understand how the author 

uses language to describe heroes and how this affects their role in the plot. Linguistic analysis of 

the language of the characters reveals their motives, attitude, character and emotions, and also 

shows how they interact with each other. A colloquial portrait can reveal changes in the 

character of the hero and the development of the plot as a whole. In addition, a colloquial portrait 

analysis helps to understand how the author used language to create a certain mood, tone and 

atmosphere in the work. Language characteristics such as dialect, dialect, way of speaking, 

prosody of characters can reflect differences in social class, education, position in society and 

other factors. Linguistic analysis of hero speech helps to determine how certain linguistic means 

affect the character of heroes. 

Subsequent years in Uzbek linguistics, research on such concepts as linguistic personality, 

communicative personality, speech personality, portrait of a speech personality, linguistic model 

of a person, linguistic personality embodied in speech, linguistic type, speech behavior indicates 

a significant increase in a number of branches of linguistics, such as Psycholinguistics, 

pragmalinguistics, cognitive linguistics, anthropocentric linguistics, sociolinguistics, and 

increased attention to the human factor from the point of view of science. The term "colloquial 

portraiture” originated with the term "linguistic identity". The description of the linguistic 

identity in the creation of speech portraits and the study of the language factor as a way of 

reflecting a person are becoming more and more popular in modern linguistics. Poetic and prose 

types are distinguished, which, in turn, are classified according to genre, historical, thematic, 

chronological and other parameters. 

The history of the heroic colloquial portrait is associated with the development of the fields of 

linguistics and literary studies. The first reference to the hero's portrait is associated with 

classical Greek poetry, in which language tools were used to describe the qualities and character

of the characters. In Medieval Europe, the portrait of a literary hero was associated with risaric 

literature and was an important element of storytelling. With the development of romanticism 

and realism in the 19th century, a deeper and more accurate portrayal of Heroes began in 

literature. The authors began to use linguistic means to create a vivid and memorable portrait of 

the hero, reflecting his personality, character and inner world. In Uzbek classical literature, there 

are many examples of a heroic oratory portrait. A.Navoi, especially in the famous rubies and 

ghazals of Babur, we can see that the heroes of the work often express their oratory skill brighter 

when addressing themselves or those around them. 

It is known that in a work of art, a portrait of a linguistic person appears in different ways, 

depending on the individual style of the creator. In this regard, referring to the works of Utkir 

Hoshimov, it becomes clear that the central image that holds the big and small works of the 

author together is the image of the mother. In the interpretation of images, the advance of the 

science of literary studies anchayin is also evident from the Salma of works created on this topic. 

In the cited work, the subject was studied in a dissertation scale from the point of view of literary 

studies, but the mother figure described in the narrative, her character, nature, inner and outer 

world, her portrait, was not studied in a linguistic scale. Considering that the object of research in 

such areas of linguistics as linguopragmatics, cultural linguistics, cognitive linguistics, 

Psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, anthropolinguistics, ethnolinguistics is a person, the horizons 

of research work become clear, after all, the image of any person is considered a product of 

linguistic thinking, and it is desirable that linguistic activity is studied in continuity with the 

person who owns it. 

Recently, there has been a great interest in issues such as the problems of semantics, in 

particular, the role of metaphor in the lexical-semantic system of language, the mechanisms and 

laws of the emergence of portable meanings, units in the reflection of the linguistic picture of the 

universe, the role of metaphor. The figurative units of language contain a metaphorical 

component that allows all native speakers and the individual of a single language to consider the 

entire system of figurative units as a sphere of metaphorization, reflecting the principles of 

systematization of the world around us. 

Lexical-semantic, semasiological and linguistic analysis of Tropic nominations in artistic speech 

makes it possible to build a metaphorical model of the author's individual perception of the 

universe using figurative concepts – metaphors, comparisons, figurative phrases, embodied by 

figurative units. Metaphor helps to create bright and memorable images in a work of art. In 

general, creating a character using linguistic units is a complex process, requiring the author of a 

literary work to be fluent in Language, able to use various language tools to create a memorable 

and vivid character image.Through the novel “lives in a dream”, Utkir Hoshimov spoke his 

salutary and unique word about the victims of the mustabid regime, the Afghan war, the “work 

of Uzbeks”, was able to convey to the reader that masculinity is ignorance. 

In linguistics, the concept of” linguistic portrait of a hero “or” colloquial portrait " began to be 

used relatively recently. Within the linguistic Sciences, the portrait of a hero is considered as a 

special type of text that contains information about the character, emotional state and behavior of 

the hero. Today, the linguistic portrait of the hero remains an important element of literary 

creativity and is studied within the framework of linguistics and literary studies. With the help of 

linguistic means, authors can create vivid and memorable images of heroes that can affect the 

perception and understanding of the work. 

In the story“ Spring does not return", the author pays great attention to the image of natural 

phenomena, external factors, in particular, various details of the landscape, in order to deeper 

reveal the psyche of the characters, fill their character. Elements of nature such as wind, cloud, 

rain, Khazan, puddle, mud are found in the story in large numbers. Each of them serves to 

express the character of the heroes, to reveal the tiara of images, while holding an important 

place in moving the plot. From the writer's gaze, the tiny changes that occur in nature are not left 

out.

In modern linguistic science, the artistic text began to be viewed not only as a sum of statements 

that enter into semantic-syntactically reciprocal relations, but as a form of communication with 

social value, which reflects the knowledge, thinking, national-cultural worldview and mentality 

of the owners of a particular language in itself, and the portrait of a linguistic person, As a result 

of research on the principles of creating a linguistic personality, an artistic character, in addition 

to the style and skill of creating an individual image of a particular creator, the importance of 

linguistic paradigms in creating an artistic image is also revealed. 

One of the factors that cause the emergence of a linguistic personality in a work of art is 

considered human speech activity, which is studied in such branches of modern linguistics as 

extralinguistics, intralinguistics and comparativistics. It is known that in speech, along with a 

person's thoughts, his spiritual world also finds its expression. The study of the transparent and 

hidden meanings in speech, the study of such issues as kilish, the manifestation of a person's self 

through his speech, plays an important role in revealing the essence of the National way of 

thinking, human concepts inherent in a particular nation. From this point of view, "the study of 

human speech in his "movement", "Lively", which is a gift of social activity in the objective 

world, is of great importance not only for theoretical linguistics, but also for its commonalities 

such as Psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, linguistic geography, communicative linguistics, 

neurolinguistics."  

The author not only creates bright and memorable characters, but also makes appropriate use of 

language units that allow you to convey the culture and lifestyle of the people, the mood, 

emotions and feelings of people. Examples of this in U.Hoshimov's stories are phraseological 

units, sentence turns, metaphors, epithets, which can be found in many. These units, which gave 

the characters their own clarity and individuality, became even richer at the expense of the 

details that made the character of the heroes glow. 

One of the main elements that U.Hoshimov uses to create literary characters is their speech. He 

pays great attention to how the heroes express themselves, what words they choose, how they 

build speech turns. By creating a unique Uzbek atmosphere in the narrative with the help of 

simple words and phrases, the writer draws generalizing life conclusions through the image of 

the lifestyle of ordinary people. The most important thing is to invite readers to observe the fact 

that simple relationships between people are important in overcoming the difficulties of life, to 

come to a halt about the universe and man, Genesis and suicide.  

The characters of the author are distinguished by their self-characterizing speeches. In the 

writer's novels “lives lived in a dream”, “between two doors”, “there is a shadow where there is 

light”, speech portraits of the hero are revealed directly in the inner and outer speech of the 

heroes. The skill of the author accurately describes the state of literary heroes in their linguistic 

existence, regardless of various social group, position, age and gender, in which the author 

perfectly approaches the image of images even from the point of view of time. 

Die through the landscape image.Hoshimov creates a wonderful exposition, with the help of 

which he brings the reader into an environment where events take place. The reader does not 

notice how Muqaddam, Anwar and Alimardon came to the village where their daily lifestyle was 

going. The metaphors used in the narrative, on the other hand, are directed to embody the 

scenery as if we were familiar to us from the beginning, so that we can penetrate into the events 

of the work without excessive exuberance.  

In fact, metaphor is applied to enhance the emotional impact of a text by taking it to an abstract 

or figurative level. But U.Hoshimov seeks to convey from them complex emotional states 

through situations similar to those in the reader's memory. Likenesses and metaphors help the 

author create a brighter and more memorable character. 

Utkir Hoshimov uses metaphor even when naming a story. "Spring does not return” – that is, the 

idea that the spring of life is given to a person once, that it is fleeting, that it should be used 

effectively, that it should not be wasted, that it should not be given to excessive passing fancies 

that the spring of youth does not return – and life is fleeting is being realized. In fact, when we 



 

37   Journal of Language, Literacy and Learning in STEM Education                                             www. grnjournal.us  

 

consider that a person's life conditionally consists of spring, summer, autumn and winter, we 

need to understand that the spring of youth – life does not return. 

The story” spring does not return " is considered a work rich in unique images and a special 

atmosphere. The author's skill is visible not only in the fact that he carries in parallel excellent 

plot lines, but also in the fact that he is able to combine the meaningless linguistic units of the 

Uzbek language in a single denominator to form the images of heroes. In addition, linguistic 

units also serve to convey the idea of the head of the narrative, enriching it with elements of deep 

psychologism.  

U.Hoshimov employs a unique style of storytelling that in turn gives originality and freshness to 

the work. Through the use of words and phrases that are not shed in many situations, the author 

emphasizes the otherness of the world of the work in which events are taking place, the unusual 

nature of the tasks that the heroes have fallen on their heads.  

The fact that a unique style of speech of any character is created by the author ensures their 

individuality and uniqueness. The speech of the heroes is subject not only to the transmission of 

information, but also to their characterization. The speech, behavior of Alimardon, who is used 

to taking matters into his own hands everywhere, is different from the sayings of kind and soft 

Anwar, for example. This contrast also shows the difference between the two images. 

In the story, metaphors played an important role in regulating the system of images. They 

contributed to a deeper and more emotional perception of the text, and were instrumental in 

generating assassinations, expanding readers ' understanding, and making the text memorable. 

Language is such a social phenomenon that, with its richness in means of expression, allows 

writers to subtly convey emotions, create an environment that serves to reveal the main idea, 

evoke deep emotions in readers. The story" spring does not return " is an example of such 

literary magic, in which lexical items occupy a key place in the formation of a reliable image of 

the heroes of the work. 

The first stage of creating an image consists in choosing words and phrases that can imagine the 

world of the story, heroes and events. The author notes in this story The Clash of opposites using 

bright and contrasting lexical elements: spring and its irreversibility. When the reader is faced 

with the phrase "spring does not return", a kind of optimistic mood remains in the mouth for the 

presence of an already anticipated subtext in it. 

Well, the study of the linguistic identity of the Hero allows linguists to understand how the 

character interacts with language and how language affects their thinking, behavior and 

relationships with other images. A colloquial portrait helps linguists analyze linguistic 

stereotypes and perceptions that may be associated with specific language groups and cultures. 

Utkir Hoshimov, unlike others, was able to bring lyrical direction and musical coloritis into 

prose with his works. In the story” spring does not return", the linguistic units served not only to 

create a vivid and memorable image of the heroes, but also to create the general atmosphere of 

the story. U.Hoshimov was able to skillfully use the word to form characters, open the plot and 

express his ideas, as a result of which the work came to look bright and unique.
