Abstract

In world linguistics, analyzing the chiasm phenomenon specific to a particular language from a semantic-stylistic perspective and comparing it with a genetically unrelated language helps identify similarities and differences between the two languages. This, in turn, contributes to the development of linguistics and the emergence of new terms. The study of the chiasm phenomenon has been an object of research for linguists for many years. However, in modern linguistics, both approaches to studying chiasm and views on its linguistic status remain diverse. This article discusses the use of chiasmus not only in poetic texts but also in folklore genres. Special attention is given to the widespread use of chiasmus in folklore texts, particularly in proverbs. Additionally, the article focuses on the similarities and differences of chiasmus in intercultural linguistic and cultural aspects.
