Realization Of Synesthetic Metaphors In The Phenomenon Of Oxymoron

Abstract

It is known that semantic valency serves as the primary basis for the syntagmatic relationships between words. For two specific words to form a combination, their semantic structure must have the potential for this combination; otherwise, illogicality may arise. However, such a limitation is characteristic of literary language and does not have the same effect on artistic speech. Representatives of artistic speech are so unique that they create strong logical units and poetic figures by combining words that cannot enter into semantic valence, thus producing illogicality. As a result, unusual word combinations that don't fit into conventional molds are created.

This article reveals the peculiarities of the oxymoron phenomenon in the syntactic relationships of units perceived through contradictory, mutually exclusive, and different feelings.
