Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In the article we consider some particularities of epithet usage in epic tales, which were further enhanced at the time of Ancient Turkic peoples and became the traditional means of signing national heroism. The particularities of historical periods in Kazakh heroic tales are studied in accordance with the historical era and traditions of the time. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n1s1p583
