Annotation: This article examines the pragma-semantic properties of the personification phenomenon within the framework of pragmalinguistics, which is one of the leading fields of modern linguistics. The novel “Khazinabon or in the Footsteps of Hazrat Khizr” by the writer Isajon Sulton was selected as the object of research, in which the humanization of abstract concepts and natural phenomena is revealed through the methods of semantic, pragmatic, and contextual analysis. As a result of the analysis, it is scientifically proven that personification in a literary text is not merely a stylistic decoration, but an important linguo-pragmatic mechanism that visualizes the internal psychological state of the characters and exerts a powerful emotional impact on the reader.

Keywords: pragmalinguistics, anthropocentric paradigm, personification, semantic transformation, communicative intention, speech act, literary text, Isajon Sulton
