INTRODUCTION 

Repetition is the most widely used syntactic and stylistic figure in the language of poetic and 

journalistic works. 

A number of works on the organization of repetitions in linguistics have been carried out, and 

Russian monologists I.M.Astafe, K.B.Bochan and M.N.Adilov have carried out special monographic 

researches. Professor A. Mamajonov, one of the Uzbek linguists, gives a number of information 

about repetition and its stylistic function in his scientific views. In particular, repetition is mainly one 

of the methods of syntactic-stylistic expression inherent in artistic speech. By deliberately and 

precisely repeating the units of language or speech, the author manages to increase the power of his 

little thought, to express his feelings in an exaggerated way. Repetition is the most common, most 

ancient type of stylistic tool in fiction, used by word masters to express subjective attitudes toward 

the object being depicted, to evaluate it, and to draw the listener's or reader's attention. 

The function of repetition is to express features such as making the author’s speech effective, 

concretizing the idea, and most importantly, convincing the listener or reader of it. 

Repetition of repetitive textual, compositional or thematic units for certain artistic and aesthetic 

purposes is the common name of such methods inherent in the literary text. are noted in the form of 

figurative-thematic repetitions. In linguistics, repetition is one of the sources of enrichment of 

linguistic stylistic means. Repetition is the most widely used syntactic-stylistic figure in the language 

of poetic and journalistic works. 

 There are also lexical repetitions, morphological repetitions, syntactic repetitions, which are widely 

used in the language of folklore, fiction and non-fiction. 

When we study the repetitions used in the works of Alisher Navoi, we see that the artistic means 

used in them are uniquely polished. In particular, the artistic repetitions used in the poet's ghazals not 

only provided a deeper expression of thought, a balance between the idea and form of the work, but 

also expressed the figurative image through repetition, providing a melody in the work and a unique 

musical expression. .

In Alisher Navoi's work we find beautiful examples of repetitions. In this case, lexical-

morphological and syntactic repetitions serve to ensure the effectiveness of the work. In Navoi's 

works, this influence is expressed through anaphora, inevitability, repetition, epiphora, and infora 

repetition. 

So‘zdurki nishon berur o‘lukka jondin,  

So‘zdurki berur jong‘a xabar jonondin,  

Insonni so‘z ayladi judo hayvondin,  

Bilkim, guhare sharifroq yo‘q andin 

In the above rubai found in Navoi's work, he skillfully used the anaphora method of repetition, which 

was a syntactic and stylistic tool. Using the anaphoric repetition used by the poet, he praises the 

power of the word, its power, and encourages the reader to use the word correctly and effectively. 

Through the repetition of the word, it serves to increase the effectiveness of the thought, to attract the 

attention of the listener. This type of repetition is the repetition of a melodic word at the beginning of 

a verse, a way of starting with the same grammatical form of the simple sentences that make up the 

text. 

Olloh, Olloh! Bu dag‘i inshomu ekin, 

Yoruhi quds fayzidin iymomu ekin, 

Insho demay, anfosi Masihomu ekin, 

Yo qudrati Ollohu taolomu ekin. 

In the above-mentioned rubai, the description of Allah, His power, and His attributes are praised and 

described through repetition. Takrir is derived from the Arabic word for "repetition", which is the 

repetition of a word in various forms in a poem. 

Lahza-lahza chiqdimu, chekdim yo‘lida intizor, 

Keldi jon og‘zimg‘ayu, ul sho‘xi badxo‘ kelmadi. 

He used the inevitable in the above verses. One of the most common forms of repetition in the arts is 

repetition. The word mukarrar means "over and over", "over 

and over". An inevitable repetition is the repetition of a word in a byte or paragraph. The word 

"moment by moment" is inevitably created to increase the effectiveness of the meaning. 

Shukr ayladi shiddatda rijo izhori, 

Har mehnat aro dafi balo izhori, 

Mol istasang et shukru sano izhori- 

Kim, shukr demak qilur g‘ino 

In Navoi's rubai mentioned above, we see that the epiphora method of repetition was used. An 

epiphora is a repetition of a sound, word, or phrase at the end of a verse. The epiphora is a strictly 

systematic repetition, contradicting the anaphora instead of the verse. Because anaphora is a 

repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of a verse, epiphora is a repetition of a language unit 

at the end of a verse. Epiphora is a method of completing syntactic constructions with exactly the 

same forms. The word "izhori" in the verses is a repetition of the epiphora, and is used in three 

places at the end of the verses. This gave the poems a special charm. 

In the following rubai we can find a beautiful example of information repetition: 

Jahl ahli bila kimgaki ulfat bo‘lg‘ay, 

Ul ulfati ichra yuz ming ofat bo‘lg‘ay, 

Faqr ahli bila angaki suhbat bo‘lg‘ay,

Shak yo‘qki, ziyoda shuki nemat bo‘lg‘ay 

Inforic repetition is the exact method of repetition of the same grammatical form between the 

components that make up the syntactic construction, and the information used in the speech 

components serves as the children of the known sentence, distinguishing and emphasizing their 

meaning. 

In Navoi's works we can also find mixed (circular) types of repetition: 

Har kimki aning himmati dunroq boldi, 

Bilki, gamining naxli nigunroq boldi - 

Har kimki, himmati rifati fuzunroq boldi, 

Qaygularining tori uzunroq boldi 

Mixed (circular) repetition is a method of combining types of repetition in syntactic components, and 

the presence of both anaphoric and epiphoric parts in a syntactic structure creates a circular repetition 

phenomenon. In the above verses, the words Harkimki and Boldi serve to enhance the meaning of 

the work by creating anaphora-epiphora mixed repetitions. 

There is no doubt that the words used by Alisher Navoi are a generalized artistic description of the 

events of the XIV-XV centuries. The idea expressed by the artist is reflected in the socio-political, 

philosophical-ethical, educational, the nature and scope of the problem, the diversity of lexical 

repetition, the rationale for the use of artistic symbols, the role and importance in revealing the 

content of the work. also paid special attention. 

In conclusion, A. Navoi is one of the great representatives of Uzbek classical literature. The poet's 

poetry is rich in repetitions and is widely used in art and methodology. The means of repetition 

demonstrated the ideological strength of the poet's poetry, his artistic perfection, and his ability to 

use his own words. In his poems, the poet skillfully used the means of artistic representation, 

especially artistic repetition, the semantic and stylistic features of which determine the uniqueness of 

Navoi's work. The artistic repetitions in A. Navoi's work provided harmony. Increased sensitivity, 

loaded with miraculous meaning. The poet conveys the non-formal meaning of the poem through 

repetition in his poems, which provides a connection between the lines or verses, enhances the 

expressiveness of the image, and creates a harmony of content and form.
