Abstract

This article examines how implicit meaning in English literary titles becomes accessible through the interaction of lexical form, textual context and retrospective interpretation. The study narrows the broader problem of title semantics to four recurrent decoding mechanisms: semantic expansion, allegorical redirection, lexical-semantic contradiction and symbolic compression. A qualitative semantic-stylistic method is applied to selected titles from English-language fiction, including In Another Country, Animal Farm, The Invisible Man and Lord of the Flies. The analysis shows that a literary title often functions as an incomplete interpretive cue at the beginning of reading and acquires a more determinate conceptual value only after the reader connects it with plot development, imagery, characterization and thematic opposition. The findings support a context-sensitive approach in which implicit meaning is reconstructed from textual evidence rather than assigned to the title in isolation

Maqolada ingliz badiiy asarlari sarlavhalaridagi implitsit ma’noning leksik shakl, matn konteksti va retrospektiv talqin o‘zaro ta’siri orqali ochilishi tahlil qilinadi. Tadqiqot sarlavha semantikasining keng muammosini to‘rtta asosiy dekodlash mexanizmiga toraytiradi: semantik kengayish, allegorik yo‘naltirish, leksik-semantik ziddiyat va ramziy siqilish. Ingliz tilidagi badiiy asarlardan In Another Country, Animal Farm, The Invisible Man va Lord of the Flies sarlavhalari sifat jihatdan semantik-stilistik usul asosida o‘rganiladi. Natijalar sarlavha o‘qish boshida to‘liq bo‘lmagan talqin signali sifatida namoyon bo‘lishi, uning konseptual mazmuni esa syujet, obrazlar tizimi, xarakterlar va tematik qarama-qarshiliklar bilan bog‘langandan keyin aniqlashishini ko‘rsatadi. Shunday qilib, implitsit ma’noni sarlavhaning o‘zidan emas, balki matn tomonidan asoslangan kontekstual dalillar orqali ochish zarurligi asoslanadi

В статье рассматривается раскрытие имплицитного смысла в заглавиях английских художественных произведений через взаимодействие лексической формы, текстового контекста и ретроспективной интерпретации. Широкая проблема семантики заглавия конкретизируется посредством четырех механизмов декодирования: семантического расширения, аллегорического перенаправления, лексико-семантического противоречия и символической компрессии. На материале заглавий In Another Country, Animal Farm, The Invisible Man и Lord of the Flies применяется качественный семантико-стилистический анализ. Результаты показывают, что в начале чтения заглавие нередко выступает как неполный интерпретационный сигнал, а более определенное концептуальное значение формируется после его соотнесения с развитием сюжета, системой образов, характеристикой персонажей и тематическими оппозициями. Делается вывод о необходимости контекстуального подхода, при котором скрытый смысл выводится из текстовых оснований, а не приписывается заглавию изолированно
