THE ROLE OF STYLISTIC FEATURES IN THE EPIC “THE BIRTH OF GOROGLY”

This research examines “The Birth of Goroʻgʻli”, a prominent example of Uzbek oral folk literature, through a linguoculturological approach. The study identifies and analyzes linguistic elements used in the text, such as euphemisms, theonyms, symbols, and precedent names, and explores their semantic, stylistic, and cultural-spiritual connotations. This analysis reveals not only the artistic and aesthetic features of the epic but also the ancient worldview, system of thinking, ethical principles, and cultural values of the Uzbek people. Euphemisms reflect people's refined taste and respect for moral norms; theonyms highlight religious perceptions, belief systems, and attitudes toward divine powers; and symbols express the aesthetic views, philosophical thinking, and life concepts of the people. The use of precedent names demonstrates the nation’s cultural memory and its reverent attitude toward historical figures, sacred images, and cultural heritage. Overall, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the linguistic and cultural representations embedded in traditional oral narratives and their broader significance in the context of national identity.
