THE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF ANTHROPONYMS IN “BEOWULF” AND “ALPOMISH”
Keywords:
anthroponym, structural analysis, epic discourse, Beowulf, Alpomish, comparative linguistics.Abstract
This thesis examines the structural features of anthroponyms in the Old English epic Beowulf and the Uzbek heroic epic Alpomish. Anthroponyms, as linguocultural units, reflect historical memory, social hierarchy, mythological worldview, and ethnic identity. Through a comparative structural analysis, the study explores morphological composition, word-formation models, semantic motivation, patronymic constructions, and gender markers in both epics. The findings demonstrate that while Beowulf anthroponyms predominantly reflect Germanic compound name structures with heroic and martial semantics, Alpomish anthroponyms reveal Turkic naming traditions based on lexical symbolism, tribal identity, kinship relations, and cultural values. The structural similarities and differences highlight the typological features of Indo-European and Turkic anthroponymic systems and confirm the importance of epic discourse in preserving national onomastic heritage.
