Words expressing the names of objects in the “Zevarxon” epic

Abstract

The article reveals the "materiality, construction, historicity, genetics, specificity, as well as meaning, form, application, stylistic" and a number of other properties of the words representing the names of objects in the epic.This article provides a comprehensive linguistic analysis of the words denoting object names in the epic text. In particular, the study reveals and systematizes such essential properties of these lexical units as materiality, construction, historicity, genetic origin, specificity, semantic meaning, formal structure, functional application, and stylistic features. The research examines how object-naming words function within the epic discourse, their role in reflecting the cultural and historical worldview of the people, and their contribution to imagery and artistic expressiveness. Special attention is given to the lexical-semantic layers, word-formation patterns, and contextual usage that shape the uniqueness of the epic language. The findings demonstrate that object-denoting vocabulary in the epic is not only nominative in nature but also serves important aesthetic, cognitive, and ethnolinguistic functions. The results of the study may be useful for researchers in linguistics, folklore studies, and literary analysis, as well as for the further investigation of the language of epic texts.
