Functions of a Tale

From a socio-pedagogical perspective, the socializing, creative, holographic, valeological-therapeutic, cultural-ethnic, and verbal-imagery functions of fairy tales are important.

It is necessary to utilize these functions in the practice of everyday life, pedagogy, art, and other forms of fairy tale application.

The socializing function refers to introducing new generations to the universal and ethnic experience accumulated in the international world of fairy tales.

The creative function refers to the ability to identify, form, develop, and realize the creative potential of an individual, including their imaginative and abstract thinking.

The holographic function manifests in three main forms:
- The ability of a fairy tale to reveal the profound within the simple;
- The ability to represent the universe in three-dimensional spatial and temporal dimensions (heaven - earth - underworld; past - present - future);
- The ability of a fairy tale to engage all human senses and serve as a foundation for creating all types, genres, and forms of aesthetic creativity.

The developmental-therapeutic function refers to promoting a healthy lifestyle and protecting individuals from harmful habits and addictions.

The cultural-ethnic function involves introducing individuals to the historical experiences of different peoples and ethnic cultures, including their way of life, language, traditions, and symbols.

The lexical-imagery function refers to the development of linguistic culture in individuals, enabling them to master the polysemy and artistic richness of language.
