Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the semantics of trees in an anecdotal fairy tale. The research material was Russian and Belarusian fairy tales. The article uses the technique of frame analysis of the fairy tale motif and plot, proposed by S.Yu. Neklyudov. The fairy tale type 1877* is a frame consisting of six slots: wandering in the forest, moving to a tree, imprisonment in a hollow, lumberjacks, contact with lumberjacks, liberation. The semantics of the fairy tale is closely related to the mythology of trees. The hero’s stay in the tree is interpreted as a temporary death. This determines the objective world of the fairy tale, within which trees acquire such household allomorphs as a barrel, a chest, a beehive, a trough, and the hero is compared with a bee.
