COLLECTIVE PRAISE AS A HOUSEHOLD EPIDEICTIC SPEECH GENRE

Abstract

Praise means to praise the person's good qualities and character traits. If the praise is directed to a person of a particularly high social status, for example, a khan, the content of the praise text is formed on the basis of strong figurative similes in the process of praising the addressee. For example, Do not be afraid, my net, my retreating light, my majestic ram, my chosen husband, my lion who passes by in strength, my chirping tiger, my lion wrist, my leopard heart, my yorga dragon, my humor if I miss, my amulet on my neck, don't my net! . It seems that since the addressee is in the position of Khan, the strongest animals such as ram, lion, tiger, leopard, dragon were specially chosen for similes
