This collected work deals with one of the most archaic phenomena in Indo-European and Slavic traditions, incantations. The contributors focus on the linguistic and cultural analysis of the phenomenon: semantics and structure of their text, language and poetics, connections with myth and ritual, etc. An incantation is investigated as a specific folklore genre, as a text, and as a specific means for preventing or fighting harm. Bibliographic references.
