METAPHORS IN ALEXANDER FAYNBERG’S POETRY: A SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS

Abstract

This study investigates the role of metaphors in Alexander Faynberg’s poetry through a semiotic lens, exploring how his use of symbolic language bridges cultural and linguistic boundaries. By analyzing key poems, this paper identifies recurring metaphorical structures and their interpretative significance within the broader context of Soviet and post-Soviet literary traditions [1]. The research applies semiotic theories to examine how Faynberg employs metaphor to construct meaning, evoke emotions, and negotiate ideological constraints. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of his poetic style and the broader implications of metaphorical language in bilingual literary traditions.
