Linguistic-Cultural Features of Kyrgyz Song Discourse: Associative Experiment

Abstract

The relevance of this study is due to important and insufficiently studied problems associated with song discourse. The lyrics of the song are a deep and mysterious product, which reflects not only the personal experiences and thoughts of the author, but also the peculiarities of the mentality of the culture as a whole. The topic of this work is relevant. To achieve this goal, the following research methods were used in the article: analysis, synthesis, observation, statistical analysis, interpretation and associative experiment. This experiment allows us to identify how song lyrics reflect social, cultural and political trends, what topics and problems are most often found in songs, what genres and styles are most popular among different segments of the population, etc. As a result of the association experiment, it was found that the lyrics are usually poetic and contain romantic and pastoral themes, such as love for nature, homeland and people. In addition, Kyrgyz songs have characteristic melodies and rhythms that reflect the cultural traditions and lifestyle of the Kyrgyz people. Kyrgyz songs are known for their unique linguistic and cultural characteristics, which distinguish them from folk songs of other cultures. One of these features is the use of incredible transitions from one tonal center to another. This creates a special harmony and originality of the melodies of Kyrgyz songs. The words in the songs reflect the centuries-old history of the people and their traditions, such as grazing cattle, national holidays, flower shows, as well as love and friendship. These texts often contain polysemantic words, symbols and images that convey ideas and national traditions. Kyrgyz songs are the wealth of the nation, which reflects the cultural heritage of the Kyrgyz people. They are a striking example of a combination of linguistic and cultural characteristics and are distinguished by their uniqueness and beauty.
