THE HORSE IN FOLK POETRY. FROM THE ANSWERS TO THE FIRST SURVEY OF THE ROMANIAN LANGUAGE MUSEUM
(Abstract)

The present study aims at identifying and interpreting the role that the horse plays in folk poetry. More specifically, we extracted the material of folklore from the answers provided by village intellectuals starting in 1922, when the first survey was issued by The Romanian Language Museum. We had in mind the answers to question number 138: “What do people believe about the horse? What role does it play in legends, carols, disenchantments?”. We also analysed the significance this animal has in poetic imagery.

Keywords: The Survey entitled “The Horse”, The Romanian Language Museum, folk poetry, the role of the horse..
Cuvinte-cheie: Chestionarul „Calul”, Muzeul Limbii Române, poezia populară, rolul calului.
