Abstract

This paper is intended to examine the Generic Structural Potential, semantic attributes and lexicogrammatical patterns of the event sections of Grimm's fairy tales. Generic Structural Potential is a description of all structural elements of a genre. Event sections include three obligatory elements of fairy tales from Initiating Even via Sequent Event to Final Event. The semantic attributes of Initiating Event are Lack, Obligation and Ordeal. The semantic attributes of Sequent Event are Test and Solution. The semantic attributes of Final Event are Punishment and Victory. Each attribute is realized by distinct lexicogrammatical patterns. With regard to a certain genre, the relationship between Generic Structural Potential, semantic attribute and lexicogrammatical pattern are systematic. Semantic properties and lexicogrammatical resources have different distributions in different structural elements of the same genre.
