TRADITIONAL FORMULAS OF THE HORSE'S SADDLING AND THEIR PLACE IN THE EPICS OF THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD (ON THE MATERIAL OF RUSSIAN AND UZBEK HEROIC EPIC POETRY)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the traditional formulas of the horse's saddling in the epics of the peoples of the world (on the material of Russian and Uzbek heroic epic poetry). Analyzing the characteristic features of such formulas in the Russian epics and the Uzbek heroic dastan Alpamysh, the author comes to the conclusion that the traditional formulas in the epics of the peoples of the world have a number of similarities and differences. While the similarities of the traditional formulas are determined by the same stages in the social development of these peoples at the time when the works were created, their differences are explained by the cultural peculiarities of the peoples. At the same time, the author concludes that the traditional formulas reflect the life and customs of a particular people.
