THE SEMANTICS OF COLORS IN ALISHER NAVOI’S GHAZALS AND THEIR FREQUENCY DICTIONARY: RESULTS OF DIGITAL ANALYSIS
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of color semantics in the ghazals of Alisher Navoi using modern digital methodologies. The
research employs corpus linguistics, natural language processing (NLP), statistical analysis, and clustering techniques to identify the
frequency, collocational relationships, and semantic fields of color units. The results demonstrate that colors function as systematic and
conceptual elements within the poetic text. The color units are classified into emotional, mystical, and love-related semantic groups, and
their linguopoetic functions are scientifically substantiated.
