Özet:

It is well-known that the development of criteria for classifying toponymic myths about the origin of place names and further improving the existing scientific views is one of the most pressing problems of modern folklore. Although many scientific works on the study of the nature, artistic features and plot types of folklore genres of legends and narratives have not been created yet, there is no comprehensive scientific classification of these folk genres. This is because, in our view, the scientific criteria underlying classification are not fully developed. Therefore, in this work, we found it necessary to critically analyze the classifications in the scientific works on toponymic prose research in folklore and the criteria underlying these classifications. Due to the fact that classification of non-fiction genre of folklore is one of the most important issues of folklore, scientists have been paying attention to this problem for almost 80 years. In 1963 in Budapest there was a special international scientific conference on the problem of oral genres in classification and analysis of other genres of oral prose.
