Abstract

The article examines the peculiarities of the use of anthroponyms and toponyms in English and Uzbek folklore. It shows that proper names in folk tales, legends, and epics perform important artistic and semantic functions. A comparative analysis demonstrates that, despite cultural differences, in both folklore traditions names reflect value orientations, ideas about good and evil, and also form the mythopoetic space of the text [1].
