Adygea Child Folklore Related to the Ritual of the Child’s First Step

Authors

Abstract

Marina A. Shkhabatseva (Adygea State University. Maykop, Adygea Republic)

When a child has one year celebration it is connected with the holiday of the first step (лээтегъэуцу). The cycle of folklore texts is related to the ceremony: majestic songs, nursery rhymes, good wishes. They perform didactic and guard functions, develop a sense of rhythm, introduce the child to the world. The author comes to the conclusion that, in modern times, the ritual folklore of the first step has ceased to perform a magical function. Some songs are played in the context of children’s games.

Key words: Adygea folklore, the rite of child’s first step, timed songs, nursery rhymes, good wishes.
