THE TERMINOLOGY OF LOGIC and of some of the more rigorous analytical disciplines has begun to appear in studies of myth and folktale. Such terms as empirical deduction, logical procedures, propositions, correlation, inverse correlative, function, and value occur with increasing frequency in structuralist writings. In view of the popularity of these writings, one can only conclude that many students of myth and folktale are attracted to a scientific or formalistic image of their field. Presumably, well-formulated theories and replicable analytical procedures are part of this image. Yet, in spite of structuralist borrowings from scientific terminology, no folktale analysis has been successfully replicated by any other, nor is there any agreement on how such an analysis should proceed. Just how close to science, then, are we in the study of folk narrative
