PRINCIPLES OF CLASSIFYING UZBEK CHILDREN'S FOLKLORE

This article provides a systematic analysis of the scientific approaches to the classification of Uzbek children’s folklore genres, particularly based on the views of the folklorist Oxunjon Safarov. Through a comparative approach, the study examines classifications proposed in world folklore studies by G. Vinogradov, O. Kapitsa, M. Melnikov, N. Isenbet and in Uzbek folklore studies by G‘. Jahongirov. Based on this comparative perspective, Safarov’s classification is divided into three main groups, and the structural components of each group are analyzed in detail. The advantages, shortcomings, and innovative aspects of the system proposed by Safarov are objectively evaluated, and the methodological foundations of scholarly research conducted on children’s folklore are elucidated.本文系统分析了乌兹别克儿童民间文学体裁分类的科学研究路径，尤其以民俗学家奥克洪琼·萨法罗夫（Oxunjon Safarov）的学术观点为核心依据。本研究采用比较研究方法，梳理了格·维诺格拉多夫（G. Vinogradov）、奥·卡皮察（O. Kapitsa）、米·梅尔尼科夫（M. Melnikov）、尼·伊森别特（N. Isenbet）等学者在世界民俗学研究领域提出的分类体系，以及格‘. 贾洪吉罗夫（G‘. Jahongirov）在乌兹别克民俗学研究领域提出的分类方案。基于上述比较研究视角，本文将萨法罗夫的分类体系划分为三大类别，并对每一类别的结构组成展开详细剖析。本文还客观评估了萨法罗夫所提出分类体系的优势、局限与创新之处，并阐明了儿童民间文学学术研究的方法论基础。
