LINGUISTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PHONETIC REPETITION IN UZBEK FOLK EPICS

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Repeated units in the language of epics serve to fulfill special artistic and aesthetic tasks as a means of shaping the text and ensuring its content and intonation integrity. More precisely, "repetitions play an important role in keeping the text as a whole, conveying it to the listener or reader. Therefore, a repeated text or text fragment is a kind of closed system that ensures its preservation as a whole. The working mechanism of this system is also unique. This system, initially used in the formation of the text, also helps facilitate the execution process and thus fulfills its second function. In addition to providing a convenient understanding of the text by the listener, it performs another important task by creating the possibility of long-term memory retention. This miraculous tool appears in epic texts sometimes in the form of a sound, suffix, stem, sometimes in the form of a reversal of words and word forms. Sometimes these tools appear one after the other, regularly; sometimes mixed, sometimes reversed; sometimes, they emphasize their presence even when hidden. The article discusses the regular use of phonetic repetition as a stylistic figure in the text of Uzbek folk epics and its artistic and aesthetic functions.It has been clarified that each of the artistic repetitions in the performance of Bakhshi poet has an important expressive-emotional and aesthetic task.
