metadata.value: The article discusses the problem of the development of a scientific approach and Swahili
  terminology by national Swahili literary science in the context of the emergence of new Swahili
  poetry in the 1970s against the background of prevailing traditional genres, as well as
  the comprehension, interpretation and application of this terminology by scientists. Born at
  the end of the 19th century among European missionaries and scholars, the theory of Swahili
  versification continued to develop in European-language works until the 1950s when the first
  critical essay on Swahili versification by the traditional poet Amri Abedi appeared. The emergence
  of new Swahili poetry in the mid-1970s against the background of traditional genres not
  only produced the well-known mgogoro wa ushairi (dispute about poetry), but also required
  the comprehension of poetry itself and Swahili literature as a whole. An important role in this
  process was the priority of developing a unified scientific approach, as well as Swahili terminology.
  The emergence of a new Swahili-language poetry embodied in the works of Kezilahabi,
  Mulokozi, Kahigi and others, from the very beginning posed the task of naming this kind
  of poetry. The article focuses on the unsettled nature of certain Swahili poetry terms denoting
  new, modernist, Swahili poetry, a reflection of which is shown by the evident heterogeneity of
  their use in the studies of literary Swahili scholars of the 2000–2010s.
