@ARTICLE{Коваль_Галина_The_2021, author={Коваль, Галина}, volume={vol. LXX}, number={No 3}, pages={563-578}, journal={Slavia Orientalis}, howpublished={online}, year={2021}, publisher={Komitet Słowianoznawstwa PAN}, abstract={The poetic system of calendar and ritual folklore is especially characterized by parallelism, which is a stylistic device based on the homogeneous syntactic structure of two or more adjacent language units, mainly text lines, which seem to be symmetric. Parallelism is often supported with an expressive comparison of the ideas which can be called “psychological parallelism” – between the life of nature and fragments of a human life. This helps create the parallel “world of nature” and the “world of a person”. Parallelisms in ritual folklore works make the poetic images of characters, their actions, thoughts and feelings more expressive. Quite often the object and the subject of the action are compared based on the category of movement. Lexical and semantic and syntactic structures in calendar and ritual songs are based on associative and semantic relations as a form of systemic coordination and regularity of folklore thinking and are built upon a similarity of action. The majority of them are related to matrimonial motives. The article also focuses on negative parallelisms. Similar to comparisons, they were first used to specify the essence of the phenomena and only later became the means for any emotional colouring of the main images.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The Associative and Semantic Model of Folklore Thinking of Ukrainians: Forms of Parallelism in Calendar and Ritual Text}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/121261/PDF/2021-03-SOR-07-Kowal.pdf}, doi={10.24425/slo.2021.138194}, keywords={parallelism, image, folklore, calendar and ritual text}, }
