The given article dwells on the word-formation processes involving somatic vocabulary (words denoting body parts) in the poetic works of the renowned 14th-century Tajik-Persian poet Kamol Khujandi. The study identifies and analyzes the morphological, syntactic-morphological, and lexical-semantic methods employed by the poet to create derivative and compound words from somatisms such as dil (heart), dast (hand), chashm (eye), jon (soul), and others. The research reveals that somatisms function as highly productive bases for word formation in Khujandi’s poetry, with the word dil appearing 278 times in derivative and compound structures. The poet utilizes prefixes (particularly be-), suffixes (-a, -ī, -goh), and combinatorial methods to create new lexical units that often acquire metaphorical meanings beyond their physiological references. These word-formation patterns reflect both the linguistic norms of Classical Persian-Tajik and the poet’s individual stylistic innovations. The findings contribute to the understanding of historical word-formation processes in Tajik and Persian linguistics and highlight the role of somatic vocabulary in poetic expression.
