Abstract
The article examines the scholarly legacy of Karimbay Kurambayev in comparative literary studies, focusing on interliterary relations among Central Asia's Turkic peoples. The study explores Kurambayev’s approach to Uzbek, Karakalpak, and Turkmen literary interactions, emphasizing historical continuity, classical traditions, and literary translation as intercultural communication. Employing comparative-typological, hermeneutic, and systemic methods, the analysis demonstrates that Kurambayev’s work forms a coherent framework viewing literary relations as a complex process of cultural and aesthetic exchange. Particular focus is given to figures like Magtymguly Pyragy and Alisher Navoi in sustaining Turkic literary traditions. Ultimately, Kurambayev’s research offers a productive methodological foundation for contemporary studies of Turkic literatures.
