| Summary: | To create figurativeness in literary style such semantic means of expression as synonyms, antonyms
and homonyms are widely used. In the Azerbaijani and English literary texts the semantic meaning of
toponyms is expressed in two ways: by using their paraphrased equivalents and by using their new and
archaic forms. The synonymous toponyms in literature are used to avoid repetition of one and the same
word and give the reader certain information about the toponym. If it is necessary to give imagery in the
artistic style, in addition to the semantic shades of toponyms, various phonetic, grammatical and lexical
means are also used. Of course, this stylistic event does not happen by itself. This is what arises from the
differences in the approaches of writers and poets to words, or rather, toponyms. Apparently, in both
the Azerbaijani and English literary style, writers could not but take into account the communicativeness
created by the lexical meaning of toponyms as units of language, and the stylistic nuances expressed by
their internal semantics.
The relevance of this article is defined by the comparative analysis of the semantic meaning of place
names on the basis of concrete material of the two languages of different systems (Azerbaijani and English).
The aim of the research is to define the semantic means of expression of the place names used within the
literary text. The subject of the research is to analyze the function of the place names in the literary texts
of the two languages of different systems. The object of the research is the real and fictitious place names
used by the Azerbaijani and English writers. In the work the complex technique of investigation is applied
and such methods as descriptive, comparative, contextual, stylistic, etc. are used. The Azerbaijani and
English literary texts and also scientific literature on onomastic, stylistics and lexicology have been the
sources of the research. The results of the work can be applied when teaching special courses, holding
seminars, writing research papers and dissertations |
