Syntactic constructions with homogeneous sentence terms in the Karachay-Balkar Nart epic

Abstract

The article proposes the results of linguistic analysis of complicated sentences specific to the heroic epic of Karachays and Balkars. The purpose of the article is to identify and describe the functional-semantic and structural features of structures with homogeneous members, sentences, which are in the texts of the Karachay-Balkar Nart epic. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that the study of the syntactic characteristics of epic texts is associated with the nature of the very language of oral folk art, which traditionally plays a special role in the formation of the national language, as a result of which the study of its language seems to be relevant for linguistic science, folklorism and linguisticopro. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that it first describes the syntactic constructions that are significant for the texts of heroic legends with homogeneous, predicates, additions, circumstances and definitions. For analysis, by continuous sample, syntactic constructions with homogeneous constitutions are selected from the published texts of the Karachay-Balkar heroic epic Narts. In the course of the study, a structural-semantic and functional analysis of the most typical syntactic units for the heroic epic containing various kinds of homogeneous members of the sentence is carried out. It was established that in the prose and poetic texts of the Nart epic there are almost all varieties of homogeneous members of the sentence, both main and secondary, which are used not only in complicated, but also in different parts of complex constructions, while distinguishing in a lexical and grammatically. It is shown that such components of syntactic constructions are represented by the words and their forms of various frequency origin, by descriptions, which are both simple combinations of words and turnover, whose nuclear constituents are non-personal forms of the verb. The presented study has a prospect for further studying epic constructions in terms of establishing ways of development and formation of complicated, as well as complex syntactic structures of Karachay-Balkaria and other related languages, identifying their role in the language explication of the national picture of the world.
