Some Remarks on the Use of Parenthetical Insertions in the Works of Erkin A’zam

Аннотация

This article examines the stylistic and functional use of parenthetical insertions (kiritmalar) in the works of the contemporary Uzbek writer Erkin A’zam. Insertions are studied as independent linguistic units that enrich the narrative by adding explanatory detail, irony, and authorial commentary. By analyzing selected passages from A’zam’s prose, the paper reveals how insertions contribute to characterization, narrative dynamics, and implicit meaning. Comparative references are also made to other Uzbek prose writers to demonstrate the uniqueness ofA’zam’sstyle. Keywords: Parenthetical insertions, stylistics, irony, narrative technique, Erkin A’zam, Uzbek
