Peculiarities of the use of tropes in karachay-balkarian works of oral folk creativity (by the material of fairy tales about animals)

The special attention of scientists – writers, linguists, historians, ethnographers, folklorists, at all times was attracted by the study of folklore works, but so far there has not been a comprehensive study of the speech and genre originality of the Karachay-Balkarian folklore tale. Now there is a need to fill in the existing gaps in the assimilation of the issues of the linguistic embodiment of the studied genre. At the moment, the Karachay-Balkar fairy tales about animals are the most poorly studied, despite all the achievements of folklore researchers, many issues of studying artistic, visual, linguistic and stylistic features still remain unresolved. Based on scientific analysis in Karachay-Balkarian linguistics, using the experience of scientists-researchers of different nations in the study of modern linguistics and folklore, the article analyzes the indicated features of animalistic fairy tale texts of Karachays and Balkars.

The paper considers such tropes as a stylistic device - personifications, lexical repetitions, gives a classification to epithets, and also focuses on previously unexplored, indefinite pronouns "bir" – "some" that abound in folklore works, acting as epithets. These artistic and expressive means are used to characterize the characters of the amazing world of animals and plants, to enhance the expressiveness and emotionality of their language, which is the basis of the original culture of the carrier people, which embodies the essential views and features of the national mentality.

It should be noted that for many centuries the language of fairy tales has been enriched with genre-forming and style-forming components, therefore, further multidimensional study of all issues related to these folklore works is necessary.
