Abstract

The national traditions, customs, history, and great values of our people have been preserved and passed down from generationto generation through examples of folk oral creativity. One of the most active, concise, and vividly expressive genres of folk oral creativity is proverbs. Proverbs are brief but carry profound meaning. They reflect the inner experiences, spiritual state, history, and social way of life of the people. Similarly, the role of proverbs in the artistry of folk epics is immensely significant. This article discusses the place of folk proverbs in epics. The functions of folk proverbs within the structure of epics, as well as the purpose behind the narrator’s use of proverbs, are analyzed.
