In the article on the basis of a retrospective analysis the author stratified the space of results of myths studies. It proves the adequacy of scientific picture structures representing the results of myths studies and the subsequent paradigmatic scheme of the subordination of approaches, direction and aspects of myths research. The author emphasizes the methodological feasibility of such a stratification of the results of scientific knowledge of other speech phenomena as well as systematization of approaches, directions and aspects occurring in the processes of their research.

The article reveals the essence and content of the known in linguistics and psychology variety of definitions of the manipulation phenomenon. Using the cybernetic method of morphological analysis and synthesis of complex systems the authors formulate their own definition of the notion of speech manipulation. On the basis of a new conceptual approach they suggest a structural-and-cognitive model of generating and decoding mechanism of the manipulative influence upon the utterance meaning in communication.

On the basis of theoretical knowledge and scientific facts accumulated by folklore and linguistics in the article with an application of logical-and-historical analysis the authors restore a retrospective picture of folklore texts genesis. Compensating the missing historical facts by the logic of a dialectical unity of language and folklore development, the authors form a universal model of the genesis of ideas and text organizing means of folklore prosaic genres. The suggested model can also serve as a systemic methodological tool for solving the multi-level scientific tasks explaining the formation of a comprehensive scientific picture of the development of literature and literary environment.

Keywords: algorithmic model of the story plot, English folk tale, integrated classification fairy-tale, plot.
