TERMS RELATED TO WEDDING, PARTY AND MUSIC IN ALISHER NAVOI’S EPIC “LEYLI AND MAJNUN”

Abstract

ABSTRACT

In the epic "Layli and Majnun", which is the third epic of the great thinker Alisher Navoi's "Khamsa", terms related to various sciences and professions of his time were used.  In particular, terms related to social, political, military, economic, animal and plant life, science related to astrology (astronomy), medical, musical, meaning mineral names, related to science, related to religious concepts, wedding and  terms related to mourning rituals and several terms related to many other fields are skillfully used in the work.

 In this article, we will think about the terms related to wedding, party and music, which Navoi skillfully used in this epic.  Some of these terms are still used today, some have completely fallen out of use and become historical words, and some have given way to another word.  It can be seen that most of the terms related to wedding, party and music used in the text of the epic belong to the word group of nouns and verbs.  Also, most of these terms are borrowed from Arabic and Persian languages.

          Acquaintance with the terms analyzed in the article serves as a source for the discovery of a layer of Navoi's creativity, as well as for the history and development of the field of terminology.

Key words: Alisher Navoi, term, terminology, wedding, party, music, historical word.
