The article is devoted to the analysis of the structural and
functioning features of addresses in Slavic (Russian, Ukrainian,
Belarusian, Polish, Slovenian, Croatian, Czech) and Chinese
fairy tales. The use of this category of texts as research material
is, firstly, due to the presence in them of a pronounced cultural
component, which influences the choice of the form of address,
and secondly, to their dialogic nature. The article based on
Russian classical and modern linguistic works considers
the concept of address; possible structural models for the
implementation of addresses, and the functions they perform
are indicated. The paper reveals 7 structural (syntactic) models
of addresses in the texts of Slavic fairy tales and 4 – in the texts
of Chinese folk works. The dominating in both types of sources
syntactic model – N (noun) is specified. The connection between the functions of addresses and the genre character of the studied texts is considered.
