Authentication Formulae in Demonological Legends

Evelina Rudan ; Filozofski fakultet Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

An attempt is made in this article to describe, classify and interpret those parts of demonological legend texts, which call upon either their authenticity or dubiousness. I shall be referring to such textual parts as authenticity formulae, differentiating the type of formulae used (temporal, spatial /local, testimony-like or supported by testimony, and narrator stance formulae), explaining the manner in which the narrators shape the formulae and the way in which they achieve their persuasive function.

Keywords

demonological legends; authenticity formulae; genre
