Today we will look at what a beginning is. Different explanatory dictionaries give slightly different meanings. We will review the main definitions. Also, the beginning is characteristic of epics. We'll let you know when it's appropriate.
Epic
To understand what a beginning is, let's turn to the "Terminological Dictionary" of Rusov N. Yu. This source defines the term of interest to us as a stable formula from which folklore works originate. It should be separately considered what the beginning of an epic is. It's about the beginning. Moreover, in the bylina, the sing-along can precede the fragment that interests us. Now let's talk about such a work as a fairy tale. She also often has such an introduction. It may be preceded by a hint. However, this phenomenon does not always occur.
Formula
Now, to understand what a beginning is, let's turn to the "Literary Encyclopedia". According to this source, we are talking about entering the epic with the help of some traditional formula. Some of it has to do with storytelling. This is the main difference between the beginning and the chant or joke. They don't have that connection. The fragment that interests us is intertwined with the narrative geographically,chronologically or otherwise. Example: “Once upon a time in the glorious city of Kyiv.”
Folk Art
Now let's turn to the Dictionary of Literary Terms for help. According to this source, the beginning is a verbal stable formula that begins epics, fairy tales, as well as other works related to oral folk art. As an example, the options are: “Once upon a time”, “In the thirtieth state”, “It was in Murom”. A similar definition is also given by the publication "Pedagogical speech science: Dictionary-reference book". The beginning is the initial part of a certain text, which has a special communicative function (purpose). The specified part is determined by the author based on the idea, theme and goals of the work. Also important in this case are the interests and capabilities of the addressee. Now you know what a start is.
