This study investigates occasional units in Uzbek poetry from a lingvo-cognitive perspective. Occasional units are one-time artistic constructs created by poets beyond the normative morphological and lexical possibilities of the language. The research examines their morphological, semantic, and syntactic properties, as well as the visual and emotional effects they evoke in readers. Examples are drawn from the poems of Usmon Azim and Guljamol Asqarova. The findings demonstrate that occasional units enrich the poem’s aesthetic, semantic, and cognitive depth, providing readers with vivid imagery and psychological engagement.
