COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ANTHROPONYMS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK FOLK EPICS

This thesis explores the linguistic and cultural features of anthroponyms in English and Uzbek folk epics. Anthroponyms, as a significant part of onomastics, reflect national identity, traditions, and worldview of a people. The study aims to compare personal names used in folk epics of both languages, highlighting their semantic, structural, and stylistic characteristics. The research reveals similarities and differences in naming traditions and demonstrates how anthroponyms function as cultural markers in literary texts.
