The field of linguopoetics in linguistics stands out from other branches of linguistics with its unique features, as it deals with important theoretical issues and problems of each literary period. Indeed, a thorough analysis of the linguistic and poetic characteristics of our literary works, our rich literary heritage, is one of the important tasks of modern Uzbek linguistics. Since the 1960s, the study of the linguistic features of literary texts has gained momentum in world linguistics. As a result, a branch of linguistics called linguopoetics has emerged, becoming a promising field of study. It is known that literary works are a unique and exceptional form of speech activity. Linguopoetic analysis is crucial in understanding the application of language units in literary works. Linguopoetics can be divided into subfields such as phonetic poetics, lexical poetics, and syntactic poetics, depending on the level of language units being studied for their artistic and aesthetic functions1. The direction of poetic phonetics in linguopoetics is formed through the unique transformation, amplification, and similar occurrences of certain sounds, as chosen by the writer to create a specific style. A vivid example of this can be seen in the works of Khairiddin Sultanov. The works of Khairiddin Sultanov hold a special place in modern Uzbek literature. 1 Nurmonov A., Іskandarova Sh.

Literary critic Umarali Normatov, reflecting on the work of Khairiddin Sultanov, says: “Stories such as “Dunyoning Siri”, “G'ulomgardіsh”, “Qog'oz Gullar”, “Saodat Sohіlі”, “Yoznіng Yolg‘іz Yodgorі”, and “Ko‘ngіl Ozodadur...” and his plays “Andіsha, “Shoіrona, Darveshona Bіr Ma’no”, and “Boburnіng Tushlarі” occupy a worthy place in the development of our national literature in the last quarter of the last century. These works, with their art of deeply understanding the enigma of the individual, the mysterious and magical qualities of the human psyche, and expressing these states with exquisite delicacy and a sense of refinement, have become a unique phenomenon in our national prose.” The events depicted in the author’s short stories and novels resemble real-life occurrences. The characters appear as if they were taken directly from life. The thoughts, feelings, and anxieties of these characters leave no one indifferent. In the works of Khairiddin Sultanov, ordinary events of life are captured. He tells stories about people’s daily lives, their worries, aspirations, and relationships with each other. The author often chooses ordinary people as heroes for his short stories and novels. He portrays their emotional experiences in a believable and impactful way. In the story “Chollar Palatasi”, the author describes the autumn landscape as follows:“Autumn arrived early in the neighboring village. The saffron leaves, separated from their yesterday’s greenery, whisper mournfully, as if trying to express their endless sorrow, and they sway uncomfortably.” A sharp gust of wind, as if bringing a snowstorm from somewhere far away, suddenly descended, announcing the arrival of winter with the same suddenness as a warrior raising his sword to warn the unsuspecting. People rushed to gather firewood, coal, and warm clothes, while the delicate, tender souls, already weakened by the recent warmth, felt their anxieties intensify: the heavy, humid air had rekindled many ailments2.
