Annotation
This article investigates the linguopoetic functions of place names in Karabakh folklore. Based on an analysis of the genres of legend and narrative, it is determined that toponyms perform text-forming, plot-forming, semantic-center, emotional-aesthetic, mythological-sacral, reality-confirming, and collective-memory functions. Whereas in legends place names tend to display a mythological and symbolic character, in narratives their historical and informative function predominates. In Karabakh folklore, toponyms become a poetic means of expressing national identity, historical memory, and cultural values.
