EXPRESSIONS DERIVED FROM THE NAMES OF WELL-KNOWN ARTISTS AND POETS

This thesis examines expressions derived from the names of well-known artists and poets, focusing on their semantic, connotative, and linguocultural characteristics. The names of prominent literary and artistic figures often extend beyond their original identifying function and become associated with particular creative styles, personality traits, artistic achievements, and cultural values. Such names may function as symbolic references in everyday communication, literary criticism, and figurative language. The study explores examples associated with William Shakespeare, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, and William Wordsworth to demonstrate how proper nouns acquire additional meanings through cultural recognition and repeated use.
