Structura şi funcţiile formulelor narative din basmele prelucrate pentru copii de Petru Rezuş
Structure and functions of narrative patterns in the folk tales processed by Petru Rezuş

Summary/Abstract: Structural and Functional Features of Narrative Formulae in the Fairy Tales Adapted for Children by Petru Rezuş. The paper focuses on the narrative formulae identified in the fairy tales that Petru Rezuş has adapted for children. While determining the structure and functions of the beginning, middle and end formulae, the study brings out the original rendition of the folk tale pattern achieved by the Bucovina born scholar. The analysis of these folk tale formulae is based on identifying the most important structural balance in this type of work, where – on one hand – folklore stereotypes meet with the originality of modern culture innovation and – on the other hand – general content elements of universal, invariable nature meet with particular elements of national, variable nature. In conclusion, our aim is to prove that the fairy tales adapted by Petru Rezuş for didactic purposes are “synthesis-tales” where narrative formulae work intertextually, in order to reflect in new and unexpected ways the aesthetic view and the sapiential style of the author.
