A Lexicon and Detector for Folklorism in Uzbek Poetry (Iqbol Mirzo)

Mohinur Farmonova, Nafosat Urokova, Sayyora Latipova, Sarvinoz Otaqulova, Gulnoza Salimova

Abstract

This package accompanies the paper “A Lexicon-Based Annotation Schema and Detector for Folklorism in Uzbek Poetry: A Pilot on Iqbol Mirzo”. It releases the 40-entry folklorism lexicon (five categories: genre, mythological image, symbolic image, motif, and lexical folklorisms) and a transparent, rule-based reference detector that applies the lexicon with Cyrillic-to-Latin transliteration, Uzbek suffix handling, q/g’ and k/g stem alternations, and line-level deduplication. The detector uses only the Python 3 standard library (no learned model, no lemmatizer). The poetry source texts are copyrighted and are not redistributed; the detector runs on user-supplied plain-text files. See README.md for the schema, the suffix inventory, the deduplication metric, and usage.
