On the Relation Between Phraseology and the Morphology of the Folktale in Petre Ispirescu and Ion Creanga
Abstract
This paper intends to prove that the usage phraseologisms is in a direct relation with the main characteristics of the folktales. In order to illustrate this affirmation, first we explained the terms phraseology, saying, folktale using scientific definitions and afterwards we illustrate the theory with quotes from Ion Creanga’s and Petre Ispirescu’s works. The famous Russian formalist V. I. Propp demonstrated that all the folktales have a specific morphology, with certain rules to be followed, and therefore our case study will prove that in the Romanian fairytales written by Ion Creanga and as well in those collected by Petre Ispirescu, such rules are certainly respected. Also, our survey will present relevant examples, quotes, commented contexts which prove the importance of using phraseologisms in creating texts that have the intention of falling into the fairy tale genre. The popular oral tradition can be found in the researched texts, many set phrases, idioms and sayings being used in order to help categorize the literary works.
