Sümbüllü, Yusuf Ziya

Tale, which has been the subject of research studies in Bosnia-Herzegovina and around the world, is a type of oral narrative which doesn’t have to be plausible, yet may make the reader believe in its plausibility; based on morality, useful and didactic; whose source dates back to ancient times and which are marked with characteristics from time and culture they were created in. There has been different opinions about the sources and classification of the tale which is in close relation with different sorts of narration. The history of tale extends back to the ages without writing however the history of tale studies could only be extended to the beginning of 20th century. The aim of this study is to bring interpretation to in particular, Bosanski tale culture, and in general, study of tales, in relation with the function and context of the fairy tale, the narrator, and the listener. By transferring social values from one generation to another, tales provide the continuity and unity of community in terms of training the young generations in a better way. Therefore, tales are important with their role and power on guiding and shaping new generations lives.
