KEY WORDS: stereotyped language, folk tales, Greek language, teaching methodology, comparative literature.

ABSTRACT:
Stereotyped language of fairy tales in Greek traditional storytelling is examined in a selection of geographical regions of the Greek Islands and the close areas of other varieties of climatic and morphological areas of languages and dialects in Greek. The social issues of cultural components that may appear at language of tales is examined in a case of using storytelling as a methodological tool in teaching language at school. Storytelling and proverbs can adjust on different subjects of teaching at school such as History, Physics, Religion, Philosophy for Children. Values and attitudes are in school language textbooks involved through folk tales and other folk traditional stories. Our study presents some of these language examples of fairy tales and folktales to search the architecture of works that may be important to compare to other Countries and Language examples of tales.
