A dalbetétes mesék hermeneutikája
The Hermeneutics of Tales Including Songs

Summary/Abstract: In connection to the inserted songs sung in tales we meet the following questions: (1) Is there any kind of passage between the two types of texts, the tale narrative and the song inserted in there (rhythmic poetry text), in other words does the teller connect in the act of configuration the world of the profane text and the world of the celestial/poetry song – the world of existence and poiesis itself? (2) Does the song, or inserted song generate in the course of the tale (either in the beginning, or in the middle, or in the end) another event or an action unhoped for which changes or (fulfills) the hero’s destiny approaching the expectation that the hero becomes what he needs to become? (3) Is there any kind of educational character of these folk tale songs that rely on proverbs, on social-moral prohibitions or admonition presented in rhymes and that the tale teller had to make available for thinking?
