The logical analysis of the folk text (on example of the tale's topic «who is thestrongest?»)

In this article the author analyzed a text of Yakutsk folk tale from its logical structure. She make a conclusion that the tale is constructed according the cumulative principle; it consist of practically identical syntactic question-answer's sections; an interrelation of these two - question and answer - functions, their symmetry defines the inner development of a subject; general and indefinite objects used to be submitted by particular and definite objects. All these procedures form a fundamental basic of any archaic narration. However, only a for-malization of natural language's propositions gave us a visual representation of them.
