The Representation of Conditional Relations in the Folklore of Turkic Languages

Abstract

The close connection of modern linguistics with philosophy, psychology, cultural studies has led to the development of anthropocentric trends in linguistics. Language is a constitutive characteristic of the human. The study of folklore languageallows to identify the distinction of the worldview of a definite nation. Turkic peoples have a huge national poetic heritage with a diverse genre palette, which is a unique source of spiritual and cultural achievements of the people. Linguistic description of folklore is interesting from the point of view of the study of the representation of the semantic phenomena in the language of folk art works. This article is devoted to the study of conditional relations on the material of examples from small genres of Turkic folklore. The study of the structure of paremiological constructions with conditional semantics, including the meanings of similarity and predictability, is of interest from the point of identifying formal indicators of these relations.
