metadata.value: This article is a systemic linguistic and stylistic analysis of the corpus of mythological
  songs of the “Elder Edda” in a wide cultural and historical context: folklore,
  ritual, literary. This approach made it possible to propose an interpretation of the
  mythological songs of the “Elder Edda” as a system and take a fresh look at their
  semantics, composition, structure, style and lexical organization. The most relevant
  results of the study of the linguistic and stylistic features of the Eddic songs of the
  mythological cycle can be considered the definition of linguo-stylistic features of various
  genre structures in their composition, the explanation of their coexistence, the
  identification of their source and the building of a hierarchy of mythological songs
  of the “Elder Edda” depending on the degree of representation in them of various
  genres. For the first time, the study of the mechanism of cultural dynamics makes
  it possible to use genres, plot, structure, images, motives of the Eddic text in the
  reconstruction of the mythopoetic model of the world. The author singles out the
  most representative genres (tula, cosmological and epistemological song, vision,
  memory, conspiracy, competition in wisdom, travel, afterlife poetry) and markers
  (the time of creation, the substance that served as material for the creation of the universe, subjects and objects of creation), allowing to evaluate their productivity
  and give a comparative description. On the basis of a detailed linguostylistic analysis
  of the mythological cycle of the “Elder Edda”, a different degree of closeness between
  mythological songs is established and their plot-genre classification is proposed. The
  author’s scientific hypothesis consists in the assumption of the deduction of linguostylistic
  methods of the Eddic cycle from the mythological situation of primordial
  creation, the dominance of the sacred sphere, which determines the strategy of the
  characters’ behavior and the results of their activities, anthropocentric orientation,
  which is expressed in the description of cosmogenesis in genealogical terms.
