THE USE OF MUAMMO AS A LITERARY ART FORM IN CLASSICAL UZBEK LITERATURE

Abstract

Classical Uzbek literature is notable not only for its ideological and philosophical content, but also for the aesthetic richness expressed through various artistic devices. Among them, letter-based literary arts such as muammo, kitobat, and istikhraj hold particular value due to their formal, logical, and intellectual complexity. Through these artistic forms, poets demonstrated not only their creative prowess, but also enriched the reader’s thinking, evoked unique pleasure, and enhanced the persuasive power of poetic expression.
