Features of the functioning of complex sentences in S.A. Yesenin’s lyrics 1, 2 Karimov Hikmatbek Anvar ugli,

the article examines the syntactic features of the lyrics of S. A. Yesenin, one of the most original poets of the "Silver Age." The study focuses on the analysis of complex sentences, which play an important role in the structure of his poetic speech. A complex sentence is studied not only as a grammatical unit but also as an element of the artistic method that determines the musicality, imagery, and emotional intensity of the poetic text. Special attention is given to two main types of complex sentences—compound and complex subordinate constructions. The article identifies the functioning of coordinating, adversative, and disjunctive conjunctions in compound sentences, as well as analyzes their role in shaping the rhythmic and intonational pattern of the text. It is shown that Yesenin predominantly uses a limited set of conjunctions (and, but, while), which become the most important expressive means, forming the integrity of the artistic image and enhancing the emotional effect. In complex subordinate sentences, attributive, object, and adverbial clauses are analyzed, each performing its own artistic and semantic function. Attributive clauses specify and concretize poetic images, object clauses allow the inner world of the lyrical hero to be revealed, while adverbial clauses create temporal, causal, and conditional relations that give the text depth and multidimensionality.
