CALUL (THE HORSE) IN LEGENDS, STORIES, RIDDLES AND SAYINGS. FROM THE ANSWERS TO THE FIRST SURVEY OF THE MUSEUM OF THE ROMANIAN LANGUAGE
(Abstract)
The present study aims at identifying and interpreting the role that the horse plays in legends, stories, riddles, and sayings. More specifically, we extracted the material from the answers to question number 138 of the first survey issued by The Museum of the Romanian Language in 1922 (the first one in a collection of eight surveys): ʻWhat do people believe about the horse? What role does it play in carols, spells, and disenchantments?” The answers were provided by village intellectuals, mostly teachers and priests.
Keywords: The Museum of the Romanian Language, The Survey entitled „The Horse”, legends, narrations, riddles, sayings.
Cuvinte-cheie: Muzeul Limbii Române, Chestionarul „Calul”, legende, povestiri, ghicitori, zicători.
