Abstract. The purpose of the study is to identify similarities and differences in the implementation of the category of opposition in folk and literary fairy-tale texts. The article compares two folk and three literary versions of the fairy tale, united by plot and compositional similarities. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time a comparative study of the corpus of oppositions in fairy-tale texts of different genesis is being conducted. The category of opposition is considered as a universal linguistic category that ensures the coherence and consistency of a fairy tale narrative. It is confirmed that antonymous units are represented at different levels of the language system and are not limited to conventional oppositions, forming contextual and potentially realizable oppositions. Generalized generic and particular category oppositions are identified, which are realized at different levels of language and located within a dicteme or hyperdicteme. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the linguistic implementation of oppositions and their contextual location are largely determined by the authorship of the text. Folk tales are characterized by common lexical, grammatical and syntactic oppositions located within one or more dictums, whereas the authors of literary versions widely use contextual and potential oppositions, preferring the contact arrangement of oppositional units.
