The Function of Complex Sentences in the Prose of Alisher Navoi

Abstract

Recently, the quantity of research into the history of the Uzbek language has declined, not due to a lack of source material, but rather an absence of motivation in this area. There is a call for studies focusing on the historical phonetics, morphology, and lexicology of Uzbek, particularly its historical syntax, which merits fresh exploration. This paper examines syntactic phenomena within the language of Alisher Navoi, capturing unique aspects of 15th-century Uzbek. We prioritise an analysis of complex sentence structure in Navoi's prose, proposing a novel theory classifying sentence parts into two types: simple and complex. The complex parts are recommended to include expanded, permanent compounds, Persian and Arabic suffixes, and word series. This innovative classification in Uzbek linguistics is a first. The study also discusses the structural and semantic peculiarities of the -ki//kim form, a sentence part significantly differing from contemporary Uzbek and other related and unrelated languages
