NEOLOGISMS AND METAPHORICAL EXPRESSIONS IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE WORKS OF POETS AND WRITERS OF THE NINETEENTH-CENTURY RUSSIAN GOLDEN AGE

Abstract

The language of literary works created during the Golden Age of Russian literature in the nineteenth century is distinguished by a high degree of lexical, semantic, and stylistic innovation. This period, associated with the names of poets and writers such as Alexander Pushkin, Mikhail Lermontov, Nikolai Gogol, and their contemporaries, played a decisive role in shaping the norms and expressive potential of the modern Russian literary language. One of the most significant features of this epoch is the active use of neologisms and metaphorical expressions as means of artistic cognition and aesthetic representation of reality.
