In world linguistics, analyzing the chiasm phenomenon specific to a particular language from a

semantic-stylistic perspective and comparing it with a genetically unrelated language helps identify

similarities and differences between the two languages. This, in turn, contributes to the development of

linguistics and the emergence of new terms. The study of the chiasm phenomenon has been an object of

research for linguists for many years. However, in modern linguistics, both approaches to studying

chiasm and views on its linguistic status remain diverse. This article discusses the use of chiasmus not

only in poetic texts but also in folklore genres. Special attention is given to the widespread use of

chiasmus in folklore texts, particularly in proverbs. Additionally, the article focuses on the similarities

and differences of chiasmus in intercultural linguistic and cultural aspects.

Keywords: Chiasmus, stylistic figure, paremiology, proverb, folklore, wise saying, symmetry, contrast, meaning, literature, rhetoric.

Dunyo tilshunosligida muayyan tilga xos xiazm hodisasini semantik-stilistik jihatdan tahlil

qilish va uni o‘zga qarindosh bo‘lmagan til bilan chog‘ishtirish, uning har ikki tildagi o‘xshash va farqli

jihatlarini aniqlash tilshunoslikning taraqqiy topishi hamda yangi terminlarning yuzaga kelishiga xizmat

qiladi. Xiazm hodisasi tadqiqi ko‘p yillar davomida tilshunoslarning o‘rganish obyekti bo‘lib kelgan.

Biroq hozirgi tilshunoslikda xiazmni tadqiq qilishga bo‘lgan yondashuv ham, uning lingvistik maqomiga

doir qarashlar ham xilma-xilligicha qolmoqda. Ushbu maqolada xiazmning nafaqat she’riy matnlarda,

balki folklor janrlarida ham qo‘llanishi haqida fikr yuritiladi. Ayniqsa, xiazmlarning folklor matnlarida,

xususan, maqollarda keng qo‘llanilishi alohida ta’kidlanadi. Shuningdek, maqolada xiazmlarning

millatlararo lingvokulturologik jihatlaridagi o‘xshash va farqli tomonlarini yoritish masalasiga ham

e’tibor qaratiladi.
