Abstract

This article examines the artistic and semantic features of natural and symbolic images in traditional mourning songs of the Karakalpak, Kazakh, and Uzbek peoples. At the same time, the connection between the images of mountain, wind, and nature and sorrow, longing, grief, and the transience of life is analyzed. Furthermore, the role of these symbolic images of nature in conveying a person's inner mood was studied using examples from the text.
