The purpose of the research: The subject of study of this work – a lullaby – is semiotically complicated familiar and one of the archaic genres of folk song. With the expressiveness of the text and the uniqueness of the rhythms, folk songs convey in the best possible way what the people want and what they strive for. It is no coincidence that folk songs are called the beginning of poetry and verbus of literary creativity.
