The Linguacultural Aspect Of Female Images In The Uzbek Lyric-Epic Tradition

Abstract

This article examines the linguocultural features of female images in the Uzbek lyric-epic tradition, with particular attention to the image of Shirin in Alisher Navoi’s poem Farhad and Shirin. Shirin is analyzed in comparison with the works of Ferdowsi, Nizami Ganjavi, and Amir Khusrau Dihlavi, which makes it possible to trace the historical and literary evolution of the image, its mythological origins, and its moral-aesthetic semantics. Special attention is paid to the fact that, in Navoi’s artistic system, Shirin functions not only as a participant in the love plot, but also as a bearer of cultural values: fidelity, spiritual purity, moral choice, and the ideal of perfect love
