RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Abstract
Uzbek folklore has priceless heritage masterpieces, which include examples of folk art. These samples were recorded, collected and published from various corners of our country during folklore expeditions organized by Uzbek folklorists since the end of the 19th century. This made it possible to carry out fundamental research on the study of historical roots of specific genre features, literature, versions, plots and leading motives of folklore works. Work in this regard continues consistently today. Despite the fact that certain achievements have been made in Uzbek folklore studies, the current spiritual and educational need requires folklorists to pay special and comprehensive attention to the research of Uzbek folk tales.
