Concerning the Interrelations of the Genres of Folk Literature

Abstract

In the following article, the types and their uniqueness are considered, on the example of Russian and Uzbek folklore. The world in folklore studies, the principle of researching the history of the formation of genres of folk art, national-ethnocultural characteristics and poetic evolution in the context of the genesis and typology of epic traditions has strengthened. The scientific conclusions drawn as a result of such comparative-typological studies allowed to prove that the national identity of folklore is one of the leading features of today's historical-folklore process. In particular, the new research carried out on the creation of a perfect classification of folk prose genres, including the identification of specific genre features of legends in Russian and Uzbek folklore, has significant scientific value.
