Spatial Formulas of a Folk Tale

Anotace: The scientific article is devoted to analysing spatial formulas that are a distinctive feature of folklore genres, especially folk tales. The paper summarises everything that has been done so far in identifying spatial formulas and takes the next step in solving this problem. The study analyses the causes and patterns of the emergence of spatially traditional formulas in fairy tales and gives their definition. The most common features are established, according to which formula stereotypes are distinguished in the text. The article's author concludes that the traditional spatial formulas, created by many generations of storytellers, are the spiritual heritage of peoples, a vivid manifestation of their culture. They are real examples of cultural facts of both types, that is, both precedents and rules, and therefore are very interesting for cultural studies.
