Beseda ni konj

Short folklore forms are diverse group of short folklore texts~some of these are used in everyday communication and are still alive, others are reserved for specific moments~some of them are disappearing from our linguistic and cultural environment. Their structure,function, texture and context of use differ very greatly, as well as their length~it may comprise a single word (eg. greetings), one sentence (proverbs, riddles) or a short text (defense, prayer). Book systematically and comprehensively shows the origin, structure and classification system, and aesthetic structures of the most representative short folklore forms: working exclamations, greetings, curses, proverbs, riddles, incantations and prayers.Folklorni obrazci so pestra skupina praviloma kratkih folklornih besedil~nekatera od teh uporabljamo v vsakodnevni komunikaciji in so še živa, druga so rezervirana za točno določene trenutke~nekatera pa izginjajo iz našega jezikovnega in kulturnega okolja. Njihova struktura, funkcija, tekstura in kontekst rabe so zelo različni, med seboj pa se močno razlikujejo tudi po dolžini: lahko obsegajo eno besedo (npr. pozdrav), eno poved (pregovori, uganke) ali pa manjše strnjeno besedilo (zagovor, molitev). V knjigi so sistematično in izčrpno prikazani izvor, struktura in klasifikacija ter sistem estetske strukture najbolj reprezentativnih folklornih obrazcev: delovni vzkliki, pozdravi, kletvice, pregovori, uganke, zagovori in folklorne molitve
