- - - - Propp - convenient and enormous service
      - theme -> chaos
        
        law of transference
      - origins and not current state
        
        genetic explanations sufficient?
    - - comparable units
      - ATU used for research not suitable for
      - Propp - syntagmatic analysis
        
        empirical, inductive, reproducible
  - - - compare tales according to these
      - description of tale, relation of these to each other/whole
    - - villainy/lack (A/a) to marriage/denouement (W*/gain)
  - - - action - not about character
        
        significance to rest of the plot
        
        stable, constant, independent
      - number of functions limited
        
        sequence identical
        
        follow single axis
        
        complications with moves
        
        31 possible functions

        identical actions to different people
        
        study of tale according to functions possible
- - - - cross-culturally valid
      - international implications
- - - - trace tales with identical functions
        
        belong to one tale-type
        
        create new index
        
        exact structural features
  - - - under what conditions a new tale?
      - films/literary material
        
        clear start and end of 'text'
- - - - not defined by functions
      - widely applicable, not universal
    - - foreign influence 'corruption'
      - leads to complications in application
    - - psychological rather than geographical
        
        psychoanalytic
      - no creation on part of people?
        
        separate out set areas & improvisable elements
