- Abstract
The paper presents the results of studying Nganasan fairy tales for children. The author traces the origin of Nganasan children’s fairy tales back to the mythological epic tales of the Nganasan people (sitaby) and to the historical national traditions (diurymy). The author also looks into the possibility of applying morphological and semantic analysis to understanding Nganasan fairy tales, resulting in description of some aspects of the worldview of the Nganasan people, along with their moral and value judgments, which are transferred by children’s literature to the younger generation
