First Published in 2005. The true folk riddle of oral traditions that have been rapidly disappearing from the face of the earth in the last hundred years is one of the most ancient threads of culture. One of the smallest genres of verbal culture\u2014usually under a dozen of words, it is an intensely articulated utterance. It is eccentric and as such breaks every logical mould. This volume presents results of a study driven by the sheer intellectual curiosity of the author. > Chapter 1 Introduction, Savely Senderovich; Chapter 2 Methodological Reflections, Savely Senderovich; Chapter 3 What is the Folk Riddle from Oral Tradition?, Savely Senderovich; Chapter 4 The Problem of Riddle's Functioning, Savely Senderovich; Chapter 5 The Folk Riddle: Genus and Species, Savely Senderovich; Chapter 6 The True Riddle, Savely Senderovich; Chapter 7 The True Riddle and Its Environs, Savely Senderovich; Chapter 8 Classification and Taxonomy, Savely Senderovich; Chapter 9 Classification Accordin.
