Semantika "vstreci" v prostranstvennoj modeli mira slovackoj skazki

Abstract

In the categorical context of traditional model of world a significant place is occupied by the encounter. The traditional (folkloric) text of a folktale is always created according to, common for various cultures, rules of forming the featured (mythical) world. Inside the folktale text structure the encounter simultaneously indicates the time-point (when the encounter takes place) and the point in the space (where it happens). The very moment and place of the encounter in the fairy-tale time and space are mythically, and more often than not – precisely, motivated. From where and when of the event significant for the fairytale text development stems the semantic value of the latter referred to the characters – the participants of the encounter. In the paper there is discussed the traditional structure of gradually, stage by stage, developing folkloric text – Slovakian fairy tale. The subsequent “leaps” in development of text are encounters which stand for markers.
