metadata.value: Based on the example of the Old Polish song “Pannom świat, / A mężatkom niebo, / A wdowusiom
  raj, raj, raj, / A babkom piekło” (En. lit. ‘For maidens the world / For married women heaven,
  / And for widows paradise, paradise, paradise / And for crones hell’) and its many variants in
  Polish song folklore, the author discusses the text-forming mechanism of the basic collection:
  maiden — married woman — widow — crone, which is the starting point to introduce some
  coupled, or mirrored collections of the type: heaven — paradise — purgatory — hell. The concepts
  of collection and complex are applied here as useful analytical tools which allow for identification
  of culturally stable stereotypical sets, and for labelling them with the use of superordinate
  lexemes, e.g. VEHICLES: coach-in-four — royal coach — stagecoach — wheelbarrow; DRINKS:
  wine — beer — weak, home-brewed beer — water, etc. The analysis of a multi-variant song, performed
  in the present study, leads to the conclusion that Albert Lord’s oral-formulaic theory of a
  text of folklore needs to be extended by introducing a more general idea of the “textual pattern”
  active on the level of individual text elements, as well as on the level of an entire text. In the case
  discussed in the present paper, the factor that integrates the whole message is constituted by a
  mocking intention assigned to the male (“bachelor’s”) point of view.
