The motive of the Danube River in the Moravian folk songs as a representative of "foreign" and "distant" in opposition to "familiar" and "domestic".

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the category of the unfamiliar and the familiar as well as the boundary between them represented by the Danube River in the corpus of folk songs from the region of Moravian Kopanice collected by Josef Černík. This article analyses the use of the boundary idea not only in Moravian but also in Slovak and Polish folk songs. While analysing these folk songs, several significant areas concerning the appearnce of the Danube River in folk songs are touched upon, for example, taking away different objects and messages by the river never to come back again, taking away a wreath being a symbol of girl virginity, leaving home to do the military service and crossing imaginary boundaries, overcoming the Danube River seen as a obstacle and its meanings, etc.
