Abstract(s)
This manual is divided in 6 parts (numbered
from A to F): Concepts (A), dealing at length with the notions of Motif, Type and
Genre; Praxis (B), the core of this manual, a guide for the making of an index,
expounded in eight parts, each of them meticulously organised into clear
subheadings; Auxiliary Registers (C), a guide on how to improve the utility of an
index with clear and user-friendly cross-referenced information; Sample Analyses
(D) using four versions of one particular tale tale for a close analysis of the plot,
from which a classification of motifs, types and genre arises; an Appendix (E),
defining and giving a list of Euro-Asian-African genres, referred to above. Finally a
Bibliography (F), opening with a numbered list of indices (339 items) organised
by languages; a numbered bibliography on classification problems (284 items in
all), organised by subjects/ themes (such as “B. Reports on the Enzyklopädie des
Märchens”; “C. General problems”; “D. Discussions of the composition of
repertoires”; until “P. Preliterate cultures”) and nearly 30 pages of auxiliary
registers for these last two sub-headings, such as the “Level of indices” (A), which
lists “those arranged according to Thompson’s Motif Index” and eight other
schemes; down to a list of all the “Indices in FF Communications” (K).
