FREQUENCY AND FUNCTIONAL-SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF COLOR-DENOTING ADJECTIVES IN GEORGE ORWELL'S "ANIMAL FARM"

Abstract

This study explores the use of adjectives denoting color in George Orwell's novel Animal Farm using frequency and functional semantic analysis. By examining the distribution, semantic roles, and symbolic meaning of color adjectives, this study aims to uncover how J. Orwell uses color as a literary means to enhance characterization, setting, and thematic development. The analysis shows that colors such as white, black, red and green are used not only to describe, but also to convey an allegorical сriticism of political systems and human nature in this novel.
