Abstract

Intertextuality is one of the basic principles of text analysis and is found in all types of text. In particular, in literary texts there are excerpts from other texts: quotations, allusive names, parodies. The main sources of intertextuality in literary texts are verses from the Qur'an, hadiths, examples of folklore, and quotations from famous works. The same is true of Uzbek literary texts. This article discusses the occurrence of intertextuals of Uzbek folk epics in literary texts, their peculiarities. Uzbek folk epics such as “Alpomish”, “Gorogli” are very popular among the people, and their names and names of heroes are well known. Therefore, they are widely used by poets and writers as an intertextual source in both prose and poetry.
