Abstract:
This article examines the problems that arise in the genre analysis of a literary text and the ways to
overcome them on a scientific basis. Problems such as the ambiguity of genres, differences in different editions
of the text, the level of preparation of students, unnecessary information in literature textbooks, and the
variability of modern genres are analyzed. Also, approaches such as the principle of unity of form and content,
the method of comparing text variants, taking into account the level of preparation of students, and monitoring
the evolution of genres are proposed to overcome these problems. The article emphasizes the need to develop
new methodologies and approaches in the genre analysis of a literary text.
Keywords:

Introduction:
Analysis of a literary text by genre
features is a scientific approach in literary studies based
on a deep study of the relationship between the form
and content of the text, language and style, genre and
structure. This methodology of text analysis is closely
related not only to linguistics, but also to such areas as
literary studies, semiotics, structuralism, and discourse
analysis.
Genre is a set of features that determine the form and
content of a work of art and distinguish it from other
works. The main task of a genre is to systematize the
text, determine its structural and semantic features.
Genres are variable, they are formed and develop
depending on the historical, cultural, and social
context.
Genre is a category that allows you to classify works of
art in terms of form, content, and style. Genre theory is
a key tool in literary analysis, and its development dates
back to Aristotle's Poetics. Aristotle distinguished three
main genres: epic, dramatic, and lyric. Later, genre
theory was developed and expanded by scholars such
as Northrop Frye, Gérard Genette, and Mikhail Bakhtin.
Frye classified genres into four main categories:
"romance", "comedy", and "tragedy". Genette
analyzed genres in terms of form and content. Bakhtin
focused on studying genres in a social and cultural
context.
Genre shapes the reader's expectations when reading
works. For example, a reader reading a detective story
expects a crime and its solution. Genres serve as a
means of mutual communication. They provide a
purposeful dialogue between the author and the
reader. Genres reflect the cultural and historical
characteristics of their time. For example, works
created during the Romantic period often focused on
nature and the human psyche. In modern literature,
inter-genre synthesis is widespread. For example, the
novel "Station Eleven" is considered a combination of
romance, post-apocalyptic and anatomy.
Genre theory is a methodological basis for analyzing
literary works, allowing for an in-depth study of the
structure, language and style of works. Genres give

authors direction in creating a work, and help readers
correctly perceive the work. Genres change over time,
and these changes reflect cultural and social changes in
society.
The main principles of genre analysis of a literary text:
- The principle of unity of form and content: It is
necessary to ensure a balance between the form and
content of a literary text, to determine their
interrelation. The dialectical unity of form and content
helps to fully understand the text.
- The principle of intertextuality: A literary text interacts
with other texts and forms its meaning through them.
Intertextuality allows for a deeper analysis of the text.
- The principle of the discursive approach: It is
necessary to study a literary text not only from the
point of view of linguistic units, but also in its social and
cultural context. Discourse analysis helps to determine
the purpose, audience, and communicative function of
the text.
Methods of genre analysis of a literary text
1. Linguvopoetic analysis: Study of the linguistic and
stylistic features of the text, lexical, morphological, and
syntactic means. This method helps to determine the
aesthetic and poetic properties of the text.
2. Structural-semiotic analysis: Viewing the text as a
system of structure and signs. This approach is based
on the study of the internal structure of the text and
the system of signs.
3. Cognitive analysis: Analysis of the text from the point
of view of the reader's cognitive and thinking
processes. This method helps to determine how the
text affects the reader.
The problems that arise in the genre analysis of a
literary text today can be summarized as follows:
Studying only the text in itself, not taking into account
its historical, cultural and social context. This prevents
a full understanding of the text. Studying only the
superficial aspects of the text, ignoring its deep
semantic and structural features. This prevents the
determination of the true meaning of the text. Studying
individual parts of the text, not taking into account their
interrelationships. This prevents understanding the
general structure and purpose of the text.
Works of fiction often emdiv several genre features.
For example, in Gafur Ghulam's Shum Bola, the age of
the hero is given as 17 in the first edition, and 14 in the
later edition. This situation leads to difficulties in
determining the genre features of the work.
Or,
literature textbooks sometimes provide unnecessary
information about the life and work of a writer. For
example, the information about Turob Tola lists many
of his positions. Such details can confuse the reader.
Changes in the text in different editions of works of
fiction complicate genre analysis. For example, it is
known that the novel Bygone Days was published with
several changes. These changes create problems in
determining the genre characteristics of the work.
As a result of students trying to analyze a work of fiction
without fully digesting it, incorrect conclusions can be
drawn. For example, in the problematic analysis of
Oedipus Rex, students may think without fully
understanding the literary text.
Genres in modern literature are constantly changing.
This situation creates difficulties for literary scholars in
determining the genre characteristics of works.
When analyzing a literary text by genre, it is necessary
to take into account the above problems. Factors such
as the ambiguity of genres, intertextuality, the
evolution of genres, the importance of cultural and
historical context, and the interaction of genres require
new approaches to the analysis of works of fiction. To
solve these problems, new methodologies and
approaches should be developed in literary studies.
Works of fiction often combine several genre features,
which makes their precise genre classification difficult.
When analyzing a text, it is necessary to apply the
principle of unity of form and content. According to this
principle, the genre features of a work can be
determined by determining the relationship between
the form (structure) and content (idea and content) of
the text.
Literature textbooks sometimes provide unnecessary
information about the life and work of the creator,
which can confuse the reader. Textbooks should only
focus on information that affects the genre features of
the work. For example, the information about Turob
Tola lists many of his positions. Such details can confuse
the reader. Changes in the text in different editions of
works of fiction complicate genre analysis. It is
necessary to use the method of comparing different
editions of the work. Through this method, the text of
a certain work is compared with other variants and the
essence of linguistic differences is elucidated in relation
to the writer's point of view, artistic and aesthetic
intention, and the idea of the work.
As a result of students' attempts to analyze a work of
art without fully digesting it, incorrect conclusions may
be drawn. It is necessary to take into account the level
of preparation of students and familiarize them with
the content of the work. For example, in the
problematic analysis of Oedipus the King, students may
think without fully understanding the literary text.

Genres in modern literature are constantly changing.
This creates difficulties for literary scholars in
determining the genre characteristics of works.
It is necessary to observe the evolution of genres and
identify new forms. For this, new methodologies and
approaches should be developed in literary studies. In
order to overcome the above-mentioned problems in
genre analysis of a literary text, approaches such as the
principle of unity of form and content, the method of
comparing text variants, taking into account the level
of preparation of students, and monitoring the
evolution of genres are considered effective. Using
these methods, new methodologies and approaches
can be developed in literary studies.
Genre analysis of a literary text is a scientific approach
aimed at identifying the relationship between the form,
content, language, style, genre, and context of a text.
This analysis methodology helps to understand the text
more deeply and opens the way for new scientific
research in literary studies.
