Examples of suggestions: an intriguing prelude

Favorite phrase "This is only a story, a fairy tale in front" can be interpreted in two ways. And how further everything will be more interesting and interesting, or it's just flowers, the berries go on. And as a promise, and as a threat. This is during a domestic conversation.

Specialists say ...

And what about the suggestions of professional Russian folklore thinkers? Folklorists please us with a very amusing interpretation of the sentence - "prikazulka", "pobaskka", "prisisenotska", "bald whore", "bakulkotka". And they explain: the saying is a fairy tale, but very short. With a few short quotes, the storytellers made the listeners excited, preparing them for a long epic or a fairy tale of an epic nature, requiring attention. So you see the village zavalinku, an old storyteller, like a sorcerer and tarahtyaschy hundred consecutive sentences, and clothed his bald-headed peasant children, eagerly listening to every little fairy tale. Here is a story, an example of which shows all the wealth of the means of the Russian language that it usually uses: "A fairy tale is sprinkled from a sieve, from a burka, from things of a kurka. On the sea, on the ocean, on the island of Buyan there is a bull baked, beside it onion pounded ... This is a saying: the fairy tale will be ahead. "

Types of suggestions

It is interesting to give examples of suggestions, especially popular ones, but it's hard to find - you have to listen to the old storytellers. Although such short, anecdotal stories with magnificent, polished Russian language are scattered a lot by the records of ethnographers who traveled to Russian villages in the 18-19th centuries and recorded folk tales, epics, tales. Here is where to look for examples of suggestions.

Officially, several classifications of similar jokes have been singled out, connoisseurs of folklore say that Russian folk sayings are:

• Playful and ridiculous;
• Cynical and boring (examples of suggestions: "About the white bull" or "Coke on the cola");
• Parody;
• Anecdotal.

Since the purpose of the hint is the desire to irritate the listener, to make him preyed on, it can not be familiar and standard. The skilful storyteller will turn, fall apart with a petty demon, and give out a dozen of suggestions that no one has ever told him before. Do not confuse the story with the beginning.

Fairy Tale

Examples of quotes are difficult to lead, and there are plenty of instants. This and "in the far end of the kingdom", and "a long story affects", and many others familiar from childhood. And the phrase itself usually begins with a fairy tale: "In a certain kingdom, in that state ...", and ends with a promise: "This is not a fairy tale, but a tale, a fairy tale will be all in the future". The phrase is always rhythmic, synonymous, very harmonious, smoothly turns into a further narrative, but sometimes it parodies the fairy tale itself.

The story is a child of the buffoon age, its brightness and liveliness. She is terribly lacking now in the world of a modern chancellery. I wonder how the meeting of the State Duma would look like, which begins with a story. Maybe the laws would have been written more humanely? But for now this is only a fantastic opportunity, and for us, there are no storytellers in our asphalt courtyards to look for examples of suggestions in the books of ethnographers and folklorists.
