Limorenko, U.V.
Abstract
The author examines interdependence of the pragmatic and aesthetic functions of poetic elements of the ritual poetry and retraces how side by side with magic and ritual functions the poetic value of figurative means shows its worth.

Moreover, poetic manifestations of different functions of the ritual poetry are examined, as well as an attempt is made to reveal interaction of ritual and aesthetic functions of the artistic means and devices of the ritual poetry.
