Do you know what a sentence is? What are these little literary works? For what and for whom are they intended? What is a sentence - a request or an attempt to influence the forces of nature? What and when should I say?
What is a verdict in children's folklore?
So, in order. What is a sentence? In children's folklore, these are called small poetic appeals to plants, birds, animals. These may be direct requests. And there may be onomatopoeia. The well-known appeal to the cuckoo is also related to the sentences: “How long do I live?” Earlier, more popular were also nicknames. Their origin, and they, and the sentences are due to ancient conspiracies and incantations, with the help of which our ancestors tried to somehow influence the forces of nature. Today it is just an element of children's entertainment and fun. In games, you often hear the following sentences:
Hello, bee! Give me honey
Be full of my deck!
Or:
Ladybug, fly away to heaven!
There your kids eat cutlets!
Petals and nursery rhymes - a kind of sentences
In a word, what a sentence is, in general, is understandable. However, they, in turn, also have some varieties. Appeals to animate and inanimate nature - this is only a large part of them.
For example, nannies and mothers have short poetic sentences (petals) that accompany tactile contact with the baby in the first months of his life. The actions and movements of the child are much more fun. For example, a baby wakes up, and his mother strokes his tummy, saying:
Carrots
Mouth - talkers,
Feet - Walkers
And the pens are grabbers.
Nursery rhymes also accompany the development and growth of the child. They accompany games with the legs, arms and fingers of the baby. For example, the famous "magpie-crow" or "pads" for older children.
Popularity in the old days
Our ancestors used popular sentences, of course, much more often than today. Many ancient festivals and ceremonies were accompanied by rhymes created by people. It is in children's art that the popularity of sentences in ancient times can be traced.
Of course, playing kids could be found always and everywhere. Sentences were heard in both rural and urban courtyards, along with riddles, tongue twisters, counters, and teasers.
A fascinating and mysterious world
To summarize. Children's folklore (sentences, calls, nursery rhymes, etc.) is a real fascinating, mysterious, and fun world. It is always fair and kind. Even though teasers can somehow hook a child, they are still notable for obvious harmlessness. For instance:
One, two, and three, four!
And why were you taught?
Neither write nor read,
And just jumping around the field!
Sentences are rooted in antiquity. They originated many centuries ago - when people took the wind, rain, earth and the sun for living things. With sentences, they begged nature to have mercy on them. Rain - to water the earth, the sun - to warm them, the wind - to rid the sky of extra clouds. The time has passed. The magical meaning of the sentences has already been forgotten. But as nursery rhymes, they are still used by them in various games:
Rain, rain, lei
You do not regret the water.
Dam cucumber
Stepping out onto the porch.
I’ll give a loaf,
Do not stop watering!
In a word, there are a lot of such sentences in children's folklore. All of them perfectly cheer up the guys, as they are very cheerful, funny, cheerful. Accompanying children's games, they cannot but make people around smile. Indeed, the kids delight and touch everyone around, sincerely rejoicing in their interesting entertainments!
