Kirish: xalq dostonlari hikoya va marosim an’analarining sintezini ifodalaydi. epik tafakkur qadimiy e’tiqodlarga tayangan bo‘lib, marosim amaliyotlari syujetning ramziy va strukturaviy asosini shakllantirgan. Maqsad: epik tafakkur va marosim an’analari o‘rtasidagi bog‘liqlikni o‘rganish hamda marosimlarning epik poetikadagi strukturaviy va mafkuraviy komponent sifatidagi rolini ko‘rsatish. Materiallar va metodlar: folkloriy taqqoslash, semiotik tahlil va tarixiy-kontekstual metodlar qo‘llanildi. misollar Alpomish dostoni va boshqa og‘zaki xalq an’analaridan olindi. Natijalar va muhokama: tashabbus, ism qo‘yish va nikoh marosimlari epik hikoyalarda ramziy akt sifatida namoyon bo‘ladi. ular qahramonning ijtimoiy yetuklikka o‘tishini belgilaydi, urug‘ birligini mustahkamlaydi va axloqiy me’yorlarni tasdiqlaydi. epik va marosim sinkretik birligi marosim motivlarining dekorativ emas, balki funksional element ekanini ko‘rsatadi. Xulosa: epik tafakkur va marosim an’analari xalq dostonlarida ajralmasdir. ularning o‘zaro bog‘liqligi og‘zaki adabiyotning tarixiy chuqurligini va madaniy o‘zlik, axloqiy qadriyatlar hamda jamoaviy xotirani saqlashdagi rolini yoritadi.
Introduction: folk epics represent a synthesis of narrative and ritual traditions. epic thinking is deeply rooted in archaic beliefs, where ritual practices shaped the symbolic and structural framework of storytelling. Purpose: to examine the interrelation between epic thinking and ritual traditions, and to demonstrate how rituals function as structural and ideological components of epic poetics. Materials and Methods: the study applies comparative folklore analysis, semiotic interpretation, and historical-contextual methods. examples are drawn from the Alpomish epic and other oral folk traditions. Results and Discussion: findings show that rituals such as initiation, naming, and marriage are embedded in epic narratives as symbolic acts. they mark the hero’s transition to social maturity, reinforce clan unity, and establish moral norms. the syncretic unity of epic and ritual demonstrates that ritual motifs are not decorative but functional elements of epic poetics. Conclusion: epic thinking and ritual traditions are inseparable in folk epics. their interrelation highlights the historical depth of oral literature and its role in preserving cultural identity, moral values, and collective memory.
