Abstract

Abstract Scholars have long attempted to situate the ant-episode from the twelfth-century German poem Reinhart Fuchs in a broad folklore framework. Concerned with conventional matters such as origin, function and transmission, they have broken up this episode into different motifs and referenced folktales and legends from widely separate times and places. The aim of this paper is to reassess these earlier philological-folklore approaches. I will rely on a multi-source method and examine, in comparative terms, three interconnected semantic narrative units: the enmity between ants and lions; the lion’s sickness triggered by the revenge of the ant, which crawls into the lion’s head; and the stratagem for expelling the head-insect with a sweating cure.

蚂蚁与狮子:重新评估莱因哈特·富克斯的语言学-民间传说方法

长期以来，学者们一直试图将12世纪德国诗歌莱因哈特·富克斯的反插曲置于一个广泛的民间传说框架中。考虑到起源、功能和传播等传统问题，他们将这一集分成了不同的主题，并引用了来自不同时代和地点的民间故事和传说。本文的目的是重新评估这些早期的语言学-民俗学方法。我将依靠一种多来源的方法，并以比较的方式检查三个相互关联的语义叙事单位:蚂蚁和狮子之间的敌意;狮子的病是由蚂蚁的报复引起的，蚂蚁爬进了狮子的头部;还有用出汗疗法驱除头虫的策略。

期刊介绍： Fabula is a medium of discussion for issues of all kinds which are of interest to international folk narrative research. The journal contains eight divisions: Articles, Minor Contributions, Research Reports and Conference Reports, News, Projects and Queries, Reviews, Bibliographical Notes, and Books Received. Principal themes of the article section are the study of popular narrative traditions in their various forms (fairy tales, legends, jokes and anecdotes, exempla, fables, ballads, etc.), the interrelationship between oral and literary traditions as well as the contemporary genres. Interest focuses on Europe and overseas countries which are influenced by European civilization, but still, there is quite a number of contributions from other culture areas.
