ON THE ROLE OF VISUAL AND EXPRESSIVE MEANS IN LOVE POETRY OF DARGIN FOLKLORE

The article analyzes love lyrics of the Dargins, which stand out among a wide variety of its genre varieties – heroic, satirical songs, songs of the departed and songs of reflection, inextricably linked with the history of the people, their psychology, customs, traditions and mores. The object of the study is love songs-habkubes (quatrains), characterized by a short and concise form and at the same time by the depth of the depiction of images and talented composition. The purpose of the work is to analyze features of the use of visual and expressive means in these songs – epithets, metaphors, comparisons, personifications, repetitions, which play a significant role in creating a poetic image of the heroes of the songs-habcubes. There is a tendency for definitions to become comparisons, and comparisons to become an epithet, a metaphor. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the fact that the material involved in the analysis is introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.
