Semantika kategorii prostanstva v etiologiceskih legendah Bolgar

Abstract

The records of ethiological Bulgarian legends, published by E. Ognyanova, represent a rare, difficult for collecting material of oral national stories. These stories are not considered, in particular, even in the multivolume academic publication of the Bulgarian folklore.In myth and fairy tale the space is always sacral, even in case, when this is a space of human life. The article is based on the analysis of the Bulgarian toponymic material which reflects categories and attitudes of this space.
