Abstract

The process of mastering any language is associated with familiarity with the culture of these people. Folklore as a part of culture is well known to native speakers, is a fabric of cultural ideas and traditions, and is inextricably linked with the history of domestic animals. These creatures, formerly wild companions, were strongly settled into human communities, shaping and being influenced by our narratives. The author examines the images of domestic animals of different peoples that are found in folklore texts. Attention is drawn to the fact that each nation has its attitude toward a particular animal, which is most often reflected in proverbs and sayings. This investigation explores the metaphorical functions of common farmyard companions such as cows, dogs, and cats in folktales throughout the world. The loyal dog, a defender and companion, may transform into a frightening guardian spirit. Finally, folklore provides insight into the unique bond between humans and the tamed world, illustrating how these creatures have not only served us but also captivated our imaginations throughout millennia.

Abstract

Herhangi bir dili öğrenme süreci, o dili konuşan halkın kültürüyle tanışmayı da beraberinde getirir. Kültürün bir parçası olan folklor, ana dili konuşan kişiler tarafından iyi bilinir; kültürel fikirlerin ve geleneklerin dokusunu oluşturur ve evcil hayvanların tarihiyle ayrılmaz bir biçimde bağlantılıdır. Bir zamanlar vahşi olan bu canlılar, insan topluluklarına güçlü biçimde yerleşmiş hem anlatılarımızı şekillendirmiş hem de onlardan etkilenmiştir. Yazar, farklı halkların folklor metinlerinde yer alan evcil hayvan imgelerini incelemektedir. Her milletin belirli bir hayvana karşı özel bir tutumu olduğu ve bunun çoğunlukla atasözleri ve deyimlerde yansıma bulduğu vurgulanmaktadır. Bu çalışma, dünyanın dört bir yanındaki halk masallarında inek, köpek ve kedi gibi yaygın evcil hayvanların metaforik işlevlerini araştırmaktadır. Sadık köpek, bir koruyucu ve yoldaş olmasının yanı sıra zamanla korkutucu bir ruhani varlığa da dönüşebilir. Sonuç olarak, folklor, insanlar ile evcilleştirilmiş doğa arasındaki benzersiz bağı gözler önüne serer; bu canlıların yalnızca bize hizmet etmekle kalmayıp binlerce yıldır hayal gücümüzü de büyülediğini ortaya koyar.

Отражение Образов Домашних Животных в Фольклоре Разных Народов

Abstract

Процесс овладения любым языком связан с ознакомлением с культурой народа, на котором этот язык говорит. Фольклор как часть культуры хорошо известен носителям языка, представляет собой ткань культурных представлений и традиций, и неразрывно связан с историей домашних животных. Эти существа, некогда дикие спутники, прочно вошли в человеческое общество, формируя и одновременно подвергаясь влиянию наших повествований. Автор рассматривает образы домашних животных у разных народов, встречающиеся в фольклорных текстах. Отмечается, что у каждого народа существует своё отношение к тому или иному животному, что чаще всего отражается в пословицах и поговорках. В исследовании анализируются метафорические функции таких обычных домашних животных, как коровы, собаки и кошки, в фольклоре разных народов мира. Верная собака, защитник и спутник, может превращаться в устрашающего духа-хранителя. В итоге фольклор даёт представление об уникальной связи между человеком и одомашненным миром, показывая, что эти существа не только служили нам, но и на протяжении тысячелетий пленяли наше воображение.
