Description
Abstract
Catalogs project subject field experience onto a multidimensional map
which is then converted to a hierarchical list. In the case of the Aarne-Thompson-
Uther Tale Type Catalog (ATU), this subject field is the global pattern of tale
content defining tale types as canonical motif sequences. To extract and visualize
such a map, we considered ATU as a corpus and analysed two segments of it,
“Supernatural adversaries” (types 300-399) in particular and “Tales of magic” (types
300-749) in general. The two corpora were scrutinized for multiple motif cooccurrences
and visualized by two-mode clustering of a bag-of-motif co-occurrences
matrix. Findings indicate the presence of canonical content units above motif level
as well. The organization scheme of folk narratives utilizing motif sequences is
reminiscent of nucleotid sequences in the genetic code.
