Abstract

Yor-yor songs, a genre deeply rooted in Turkic wedding ceremonies, exhibit both unique and shared characteristics across cultures. This article conducts a comparative typological analysis, focusing on Uzbek and Kazakh yor-yor songs. It delves into various facets, including the role of speech within the wedding ceremony, the performance skills of the artists, the nuanced portrayal of figures, and the presence of magical beliefs. Additionally, it explores the innermost thoughts, dreams, and hopes of the bride and groom, shedding light on their attitudes toward familial and household processes. The article also examines the purposes of rhymed expressions and the significance of symbolic motifs within these songs. By scrutinizing these elements, this study underscores the essential role of yor-yor songs in Turkic wedding ceremonies. Furthermore, it reveals how these songs serve as a medium to convey the deep-seated thoughts, emotions, and experiences of the newlyweds. The comparative analysis between Uzbek and Kazakh traditions offers valuable insights into the rich tapestry of Turkic cultural heritage, contributing to our understanding of the intricate dynamics within wedding rituals.
