The axis of paradigmatic thinking is replaced by the syntagmatic one, the metaphorical poetic style turns into a metonymic prose style. In poetry, the conventional verse is replaced by verlibre - the same as free verse. Metaphor, in its traditional sense and all its equipment, is already redundant for modern literary language. Metonymic dominance is clearly felt here – namely, metaphor is replaced by metonymy as its variant, not as its polar opposite. Metonymy allows one term to be replaced by another. The use of metonymy in literary texts is much easier than in colloquial speech. Postmodernist aesthetics accommodates much wider metonymy. The definition of metonymy originates from the Latin word and translates as "taking a new name". The word takes on a new meaning and the language is enriched with new matches. Contemporary Georgian postmodernist literature and, in particular, poetry, exists and develops in terms of the dominance of metonymic discourse; And if we can talk about literary metamorphosis, we should present its metonymy as one of the hallmarks. The metonymic form of the modern text is the relevant "vessel" in which the qualitatively new, modern text is "poured". Based on the classical form-content paradigm, all content finds its form; In this paper, I tried to state the suggested viewpoint with the help of the corresponding examples of the texts by contemporary Georgian poets.</p>}, number={1(35)}, journal={Transactions of Telavi State University}, author={Gogiashvili, Nino}, year={2023}, month={Apr.} }
