https://doi.org/10.22162/2500-1523-2018-12-82-89
Abstract
The article examines genre characteristics of a work by A. Taiva published in the form of a heroic fairy tale. The text is inspired by the famous oral and written versions of The History of Uneker Torliqtu Khan. Analysis of the form and contents of the poetic text revealed that it cannot be related to folklore. The work is a literary fairy-tale poem with typical features created on the basis of existing oral and written versions of the text.
