A comparative-typological analysis of the Karakalpak lap alongside similar genres of other Turkic peoples reveals a profound unity of cultural codesAbstract
The Karakalpak "lap" is a unique hyperbolic genre reflecting deep-seated cultural codes. By conducting a comparative-typological analysis, we can identify its structural and functional equivalents across Turkic traditions and global folklore. These parallels demonstrate how exaggeration serves as a tool for social commentary, intellectual competition, and psychological adaptation worldwide
