Abstract

The article states that while many people exist in the world, only a few can boast of creating outstanding examples of national romanticism. Abdullah Kadiri, the founder of Uzbek novelistics, sought inspiration for his work for a long time. He drew on folk epics and oral folk art, creating novels filled with vivid imagery and fascinating narratives. Kadiri utilized elements of national folklore as linguistic and poetic tools to shape his original works. He actively incorporated saj, a form of rhymed prose, into his writing. It is said that he was inspired by the beautiful imagery found in folk epics to create unparalleled examples of saja. He skillfully incorporated folk phrases and applied Uzbek saj to the melodies of folk songs, creating new forms. The wordsmith Abdullah Kadiri composed sajas similar to prayers. Abdulla Qadiri used the linguistic poetics of proverbs in his works to describe the shortcomings and virtues of people’s character. It is noted that the writer used the linguistic and poetic device of askia to ridicule human shortcomings and injustice. Issues such as the inability to see and performance criteria were identified. The writer also explored themes of love and conflict in a lyrical manner and form of songs. Using words in a figurative sense, he creates a special poetic style inherent only to him.
