Linguistic properties of proverbs used in uzbek folk epics

Language is the most important means of communication between people, a tool that enables the transfer of ideas to others. In addition, language is the mirror of national culture and a treasure that protects it. The nature of the lands where each nation lives reflects the economic, social, cultural and spiritual system, oral creativity, fiction, art, science and tradition of that nation and collects them and transfers them from generation to generation. Transferring the language to future generations is also a national-cultural duty. The service of the language is also great in the development and learning of wise expressions such as proverbs, idioms, aphorisms, which appear as short and meaningful logical generalizations that act verbally. Every proverb and saying is considered the verdict of the people. They either confirm or deny something. One of the most common and extensive genres of Uzbek folklore is the epic. In this regard, examining the linguistic features of proverbs in epic texts (“Alpomish” and “Yodgor”) which are popular among the public from various aspects is considered one of the urgent problems of Uzbek linguistics.
