Intercultural and Translingual Approaches to the Comparative Study of the Sonnet
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The article examines how the sonnet entered Uzbek literature and how the form was adapted to the Uzbek language and literary environment. It considers the role of the Russian and European literary traditions and the relationship between the sonnet and the native aruz and barmaq systems of versification. Taking the sonnets of Rauf Parfi as the main example, the study shows how Uzbek poets reshaped the borrowed form. On this basis it proposes a three-level model for the comparative study of the sonnet (structural, thematic and ideological) that draws on intercultural, world-literature and translingual approaches.
