THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LYRIC GENRES AND OTHER GENRES

Abstract Regardless of their type or genre, folklore examples are invariably intertwined with people’s daily, ceremonial, and seasonal lives. When any work from genres such as songs, fairy tales, epics, proverbs, or askiya is studied in comparison with the history of human culture, it is certainly possible to find unique “traces” of the past in one sense or another. If the relationship between fairy tales and songs is approached from this perspective, it is not difficult to see that the functional connection between these genres is directed toward a common goal: performing an aesthetic function. This article provides a scholarly analysis of several songs that are transformatively and expositively linked to Uzbek folk tales. Keywords: folk songs, fairy tale genre, epic poetry, paremiology, folklore, traditionality, genre system, lyric genres, oral folk literature, compositional structure, artistic imagery.
