Abstract
The article deals with the description of the peculiarities of the sensory expression of the HEALTH category in the Irish fairy tale “The Three Daughters of King O’Hara ” edited by Jeremiah Cairtin. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the identification of sensory vocabulary representing the semantic space of the HEALTH category in the Irish folklore text under consideration. The scientific novelty also consists in the fact that the sensory component of the HEALTH category in an Irish fairy tale is investigated for the first time from the position of dictemic text theory. As a result of the study, it is stated that visual and auditory accents are the leading ones in sensory dictems. Examples of image alignment and switching are revealed. Sensory alignment is observed in dictems with repetitions, indicating the cumulative nature of the tale “King O’Hara’s Three Daughters”. New information has also been added to the scholarly knowledge of sensory dictems indicating the characters’ interoceptive feelings in this Irish folklore text. The relationships between the HEALTH category and the mental units BEAUTY, DEATH, FATAL INJURY, ACQUIRED TRAUMA are described.
