Abstract

This article analyzes the samples of Kazakh folklore published in the early XX century in the journals "Abai", "Sana" and "Tan". Thanks to these journals we get an opportunity to differentiate the state of collection and publication of folklore samples. This is due to the fact that these editions are among the journals that contributed to the development of Kazakh folkloristics. These journals are also among the periodicals in which oral heritage is presented in written form. The aim was to indicate the names of persons published samples of folklore. These publications formulate the meaning of generalization and publication of folklore. The article identifies the necessity of periodicals in preserving and collecting the spiritual and literary heritage of the people. Samples of folklore published in the magazine: stories-legends, songs of heroes, lament (joktau) etc. were considered as one of the manifestations of the spiritual culture of Kazakh society. Based on the conducted research, examples and materials of Kazakh folklore were typed from these magazines. In the course of writing the article, the method of description was used in analyzing some examples. The collected examples were characterized as a reflection of samples of Kazakh folklore, printed in the early twentieth century, in revealing the spiritual image and social character of that period.
