This article analyzes theoretical approaches to the study of fairy tales as an object of linguistics. Although fairy tales have traditionally been examined within folklore studies, literary studies, and pedagogy, modern linguistics interprets them as complex textual, discursive, semantic, and linguocultural phenomena. The article discusses the narrative structure of fairy tales, their system of images, metaphorical units, symbolic meanings, evaluative vocabulary, and the expression of cultural codes. In the article discusses the study of fairy tales as an object of linguistics based on the research of D. Andonovska-Trajkovska, I. N. Chudnovskaya, M. E. Lipatova, J. Herrero Ruiz, A. G. Stamou, J. Orton, Y. Kiliç, and C. Ruini. It highlights the structural, cognitive, cultural, discursive, and linguosemiotic features of fairy-tale texts, as well as their importance in shaping childrenʼs thinking and language competence. It also examines the pragmatic, stylistic, semiotic, and linguocognitive features of fairy-tale texts based on relevant scholarly sources. Special attention is paid to the role of fairy tales in language education, translation studies, gender discourse, and intercultural communication. The study concludes that fairy tales are not merely literary texts but significant linguistic objects that reflect folk thinking, cultural memory, and social experience through language.
