How are myth and ritual reflected in language and folklore? What folkloric plots inspired the play "Romeo and Juliet"? Is there a difference between shame and disgrace, sadness and sorrow? "The dog knows" – where did this dog-wolf phraseology come from in Slavic languages? Why is the Kremlin a secluded place? You will find answers to these questions in a monograph by folklorist Sofia Agranovich and linguist Evgeny Stefansky.
