Abstract: This article explores the phenomena of multilingualism and language
contact within the poetic corpus of Alexander Faynberg. As a prominent Russian-
speaking poet of Uzbekistan, Faynberg’s work serves as a unique linguistic intersection
where Slavic syntactical structures meet Turkic cultural and conceptual frameworks.
The study employs a contact-linguistic approach to analyze the integration of Uzbek
loanwords, cultural realia, and "conceptual calques" into his Russian verses. Beyond
mere lexical borrowing, the research investigates how this multilingual environment
shapes the poet’s metaphorical system and stylistic identity. The findings suggest that
Faynberg’s "bilingual consciousness" creates a hybrid poetic space that facilitates
intercultural dialogue and reflects the complex sociolinguistic landscape of 20th-
century Central Asia. This study contributes to the field of transcultural linguistics by
demonstrating how language contact can enrich poetic expression and foster a unified
"National-Universal" aesthetic.
