The role of lexical repetition in the texts of Tatar songs

Abstract

The aim of the study is to determine the role of lexical repetition in the formation of syntactic links between sentences in the texts of Tatar songs. The paper analyses the function of this linking means in the formation of a chain link. The scientific novelty of the study lies in carrying out a comprehensive analysis of the use of lexical repetitions in poetic texts and identifying the structural features of Tatar songs. It is the first time that the types of syntactic links that are established through lexical repetition between sentences in the texts of Tatar songs have been identified and illustrated with examples. As a result, the syntactic relations between the parts of sentences that are formed through lexical repetition have been determined; the following syntactic links between sentences that are most characteristic of song lyrics have been revealed: “subject – object”, “object – subject”, “subject – subject”, “object – object”, “attribute – subject”.
