This article examines the phenomenon of lacunarity in M.M. Dost's novel "Lolazor." The study focuses on how gaps and omissions in linguistic and cultural representations are manifested within the text. It highlights the ways in which unexpressed or culturally specific concepts create spaces of interpretive ambiguity for the reader. Through analyzing selected passages, the article discusses the author's use of lacunae as a stylistic and conceptual device, contributing to the broader understanding of linguistic and cultural lacunae in literary discourse.
