KIRISH: mazkur maqolada to‘rtlik janrida yaratilgan she’riy namunalar semiotik yondashuv asosida tahlil qilinadi. To‘rtliklarning poetik tuzilishi, badiiy belgilari hamda undagi ramziy ma’nolar tizimi o‘rganiladi. Semiologik tahlil orqali she’riy matnda qo‘llanilgan belgilar, obrazlar va ramzlarning mazmuniy qatlamlari ochib beriladi. Shuningdek, to‘rtlik janrining qisqa shaklda chuqur falsafiy va estetik g‘oyalarni ifodalash imkoniyatlari yoritiladi. Tadqiqot natijasida to‘rtliklarda belgi va ma’no o‘rtasidagi munosabat, poetik tafakkur hamda badiiy ifoda vositalarining o‘ziga xosligi aniqlanadi. MAQSAD: tadqiqotning maqsadi to‘rtliklardagi belgi, obraz va ramzlarning semantik qatlamlarini ochib berish hamda ularning falsafiy va estetik g‘oyalarni yetkazishdagi o‘rnini aniqlashdan iborat. MATERIALLAR VA METODLAR: tadqiqot materiali adabiy manbalar va she’riy antologiyalardan to‘plangan to‘rtliklardan iborat. Tadqiqotda semiotik tahlil, lingvokulturologik yondashuv va tavsifiy metoddan foydalanilgan. NATIJALAR VA MUHOKAMA: tahlillar shuni ko‘rsatdiki, to‘rtlik “semiotik kapsula” — ya'ni minimal matn tarkibida maksimal axborot zichligiga ega bo‘lgan shakl sifatida namoyon bo‘ladi. Belgilar denotativ ma’nolardan konnotativ ramziy ma’nolarga ko‘chib, falsafiy va ijtimoiy g‘oyalarni ochib beradi. Belgi va ma’no o‘rtasidagi bog‘liqlik hamda badiiy ifodaning o‘ziga xosligi aniqlangan. XULOSA: xulosa qilib aytganda, to‘rtlik janri xalq madaniyati, an’analari va dunyoqarashini o‘rganishda muhim manba bo‘lib xizmat qiladi. Semiotik yondashuv matn ichidagi yashirin madaniy va falsafiy kodlarni ochib berishga imkon beradi.
INTRODUCTION: in this article, poetic samples created in the genre of the four-line poem are analyzed based on a semiotic approach. The poetic structure of the four-line poem, artistic signs and the system of symbolic meanings in it are studied. Through semiological analysis, the semantic layers of the signs, images and symbols used in the poetic text are revealed. Also, the possibilities of the genre of the four-line poem to express deep philosophical and aesthetic ideas in a short form are highlighted. As a result of the study, the relationship between sign and meaning, poetic thinking and the uniqueness of artistic means of expression in the four-line poem are determined. AIM: the aim of the study is to reveal the semantic layers of signs, images, and symbols in quatrains and to determine their role in conveying philosophical and aesthetic ideas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: the research material consists of quatrains collected from literary sources and poetic anthologies. The study employs semiotic analysis, linguocultural approach, and descriptive method. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: the analysis revealed that the quatrain functions as a “semiotic capsule” — minimal text with maximum informational density. Signs shift from denotative meanings to connotative symbolic meanings, revealing philosophical and social ideas. The relationship between sign and meaning, and the uniqueness of artistic expression, are established. CONCLUSION: in conclusion, the quatrain genre is an important source for studying the culture, traditions, and worldview of a people. The semiotic approach reveals hidden cultural and philosophical codes within the text.
