Keywords:
Ferghana Valley folklore, o‘lan performances, lyrical discourse analysis, sociopragmatic model, linguoculturology, folk poetic worldview, performative speech, communicative tradition, cultural code, comparative folklore, social identity.Abstract
This article analyzes the sociopragmatic nature of lyrical discourse in Uzbek folk oral tradition through the example of the o‘lan genre of the Ferghana Valley. By integrating discourse theory, pragmatics, and folkloristic approaches, the study examines dialogicity, improvisation, performativity, and social functions within o‘lan performances based on linguo-pragmatic criteria. The research draws upon the views of leading Uzbek scholars such as Muzayyana Alaviya, Kh. Tillayev, E. Jumanbulbul, T. Mirzayev, M. Jo‘rayev, Sh. Turdimov, and Laylo Raupova, analyzing the ceremonial and social roles of o‘lan, gendered communication, and comparative aspects with foreign analogues including mantinades, zajal, griot traditions, and tappay/boliyan. The findings allow us to interpret the o‘lan genre not only as a form of folklore, but also as a model of emotional-communicative discourse that expresses social consciousness and cultural identity. The article holds theoretical-methodological and practical significance for the fields of linguistics, folklore studies, and cultural studies.
