Discourse Types and Similes in Alisher Navoi’s “Hayrat Ul-Abror”: A Linguocultural Analysis

This article examines the argumentative and descriptive discourse types, as well as similes, in Alisher Navoi’s “Hayrat ul-Abror” and their linguocultural characteristics. The study draws on contemporary linguistic fields, such as cognitive linguistics and linguoculturology, employing qualitative analysis of the epic’s texts. Findings indicate that discourse types bridge Sufi ideas and Uzbek culture, while similes enrich poetic imagery. The discussion evaluates the significance of these elements in literary and linguistic contexts. The research contributes to Uzbek literary studies and linguistics.
