Abstract

The article analyzes the motif index in the love poem “Kozy Korpesh – Bayan Sulu” according to the Aarne–Thompson–Uther (ATU) system. Modern Kazakh folklore studies are undergoing significant changes due to advancements in research. The Aarne–Thompson–Uther (ATU) system is a collection of lists that classify genres and types of fairy tales in folklore studies. This article analyzes the motif index in the epic poem genre, not in the fairy tale genre.
The relevance of the research stems from understanding the evolving nature of the genre, its role, and its significance in the context of Kazakh folklore studies. An analysis is carried out on the traditional epic poem “Kozy Korpesh – Bayan Sulu”. The scientific significance of the motif index in modern Kazakh folklore studies is determined, and new conclusions are drawn. Numbering and compiling the motifs according to the index has not been introduced into scientific circulation in Kazakh folklore until today.
The academic significance of the article lies in the fact that analyzing epic poems according to the motif index provides a scholarly framework, while the practical significance is that the study results can be used by university students, graduate students, doctoral candidates, and literary critics in their research. Conducting an analysis of love poems according to the motif index is a crucial task. This research highlights the urgent need to classify motifs numerically according to their index and introduce them into scientific circulation.
The article is based on the analysis of the love poem “Kozy Korpesh – Bayan Sulu” and provides scientific insights regarding the motif index, which holds a special place in folklore studies. The results of the study can serve as an auxiliary resource in the methodology of teaching folklore studies at higher educational institutions. The scholarly conclusions presented in the article relate to the motif index based on the analysis of love poems and hold a significant place in the field of folklore studies. The findings of this study will be a valuable reference for teaching methodologies at the university level.
