Synopsis

The present manual describes in detail methods and procedures for classifying (indexing/typing) folk literature.

The Manual describes concepts, methods and working techniques. Three kinds of indices are described: indices for literary motifs, indices for tale types of oral and folk literatures and indices for ethnopoetic genres. It is intended as a practical guide.
