| Description | In our research of the development of children's ability to tell a story we gained valuable data (N = 29). While the main analysis of the children's tale follows the formal aspects of the development, the way kids tell the tale, can also say something about the actual tale. Like all other human artifacts also stories (fairy tales) originally served a purpose that was expressed also in its specific exterior form. This paper is dedicated to the analysis of the form and hence the purpose of fairy tales. Although Facilitating influence the content of fairy tales on the cognitive development of the child is debatable (cf. non-realistic magic and supernatural elements, oversimplification etc.) Facilitating influence of their form may be more clearly described. E.g. to tell all the subtleties of the story of Little Red Riding Hood requires the involvement of several rhetorical, respectively. narrative devices (description of characters, description of the motivations od characters, description of the situation, direct speech (or dialogue), memory for rather complicated scenario ff.). |
