The Myth in the Word and the Poetics of the Fairy Tale. Mythology, Language, and Folklore as the Most Ancient Matrices of Culture

How do myth and ritual reflect in language and folklore? What folktale plots gave birth to the play "Romeo and Juliet"? Is there a difference between shame and disgrace, sadness and sorrow? "God only knows" - where did the dog-wolf phraseology come from in Slavic languages? Why is a kremlin a secluded place? You will find the answers to these questions in the monograph by folklorist Sofia Agranovich and linguist Evgeny Stefanovsky.
