THE PROBLEM OF STYLE IN FOLKLORE

Abstract

In written literature the style is connected with the author’s individuality. From the same creative method and writers belonging to the same literary trend, there is an individual style of that artist, so that he takes a different position than others in choosing, evaluating and reflecting the life events. But in the example of verbal creativity, which appears in the process of live communica- tion between the performer or narrator and the audience of the listener, it is possible to mention not a different author’s manner and style, but the uniqueness of the manner of performance or dis- course. The originality of performance or discourse is manifested in the way folklore samples are delivered to the audience. But even if the same text is spoken by individual narrators in a different set and in the manner of discourse, we are faced with strokes that each narrator has his own, it is impossible to call the process of verbal transmission of a folklore text to the audience the process of creating an individual style.
For folklore the generality of the style is typical, not its individuality. The stylistic generali- ty can be expressed in invasions such as in oral activity determined by the style of folklore, the style of legends, fairy tales, epics, the style of folk poetry and so on. Traditional formulas and molds play a special role in the formation of the folklore style in individual genres.
Traditional formulas and molds play a special role in the formation of the folklore style in individual genres. Formulas and molds are manifested at different levels in individual genres of folklore, such as language, the world of images, plot and composition, and as a result, the poetic system of genres belonging to lyrical, epic and dramatic types is revealed.
Whether the given word and the obligation taken are fulfilled by the hero becomes one of the factors that fundamentally affect the style in fairy tales and epics. The construction of the plot line on top of comicality leads to the fact that the steps taken by the hero of fairy tales and epics carry mythological parody content.
