Antsybor D. The paradigm of oneiric folklore.

The thesis is devoted to the complex study of oneiric folklore which is presented by different genres (narratives about prophetic dreams, narratives with potentially active plot, narratives about the experience of anesthesia and clinical death, narratives of somnambulism, oneiromantic narratives, visio, nightmares, oneiric incantations, sayings, omens and didactic formula). For the first time in Ukrainian folklore studies the paradigm of genres in oneiric folklore is developed, systematized and analyzed. We consider it necessary to lead a new minimal conceptual unit for oneiric folklore - oneireme. Oneireme is the unit of concept-sphere that should be interpreted. The research gives a detailed analysis of the most frequent Ukrainian oneiremes. The thesis makes an identification of the gender features in oneiric texts. The statistical analysis of oneiremes and the texts in which they occur is made. By using the ethnocartographical method it is displayed the areas of conservation and modification of oneiremes. For the first time in Ukrainian folklore studies the peculiarities of current oneiric folklore, in particular the dreams about Putin and about the antiterrorist operation.
