The analysed corpus is presented in the introduction of the study, and the analysis of the tales is discussed in the subsequent sections. The analysis focused on the following five aspects: types of the functions of primary socialisation; attitudes towards school; ethnic identity; religion; and interactions inside and outside the family as presented in the tales. Socialisation and attitudes towards school, among those listed above, were the main pillars of the analysis. I consider the analysis of the Roma/Gypsy literature, more specifically the analysis of Roma tales, necessary, as tales can draw primary pupils' attention to the differences and similarities between different cultures, as well as to diversity. It is important for infants to develop social skills that enable them to more readily understand the differences between the majority society and minority groups, to improve tolerance of others and to learn to have respect for each other's traditions. Roma literary tales (like Roma folk tales) refer to the Roma people's history, wanderings, ancient homeland, traditions, folk customs, superstitions, and Roma music that is another important element of the Roma culture. Several studies have been carried out on Roma folk tales (Olga Nagy, József Vekerdi, Péter Bálint, Veronika Görög, etc.), however Roma literary tales are less widely known. That is why I decided upon the analysis of literary tales, and secondly because the scarcity of specialised literature on Roma literary tales surprised me. I believe that these tales are valuable literary works, and talereaders can immerse themselves in Roma culture. Roma tales offer an insight into Roma culture; the tales would help the Roma people come to appreciate their own culture and would contribute to the cultural enrichment of non-Roma people.

That includes the language and cultural traditions of a community. Although the Romani language was first standardised on the basis of the fundamental principles of the Slovak grammar, it has different rules. In the last century, the Romani language was mainly a spoken language, which meant that the rules of written language were not laid down. A number of questions arose with regard to the codification of the Romani language: Are Romani dialects spoken around the world dialects of a language or rather a language family comprising closely-related languages? Which of Romani languages/dialects is most intelligible? Which language/dialect can be considered ‘presentable’? Which of them should be used at important international conferences? Which language/dialect important international conventions should be translated into? The aim of the study is to map the ...

This study constitutes part of a larger research project that aims to provide methodological guidance for the integration of Roma pupils in schools that use Hungarian as the language of instruction. The types of function of primary socialization and the types of intra- and extra-familial interaction are illustrated via examples in the study. The motifs of happiness, anxiety, anger and misery in the tales of Magda Szécsi’s two books, Madarak aranyhegedűn (Birds on the Golden Violin [1996]) and Az aranyhalas lószem tükre (Mirror of the Horse Eye with the Gold Fish [1988]), are analysed in light of the aforementioned aspects. I applied the research method of qualitative content analysis and explained the forms of happiness and unhappiness in the books. There are many examples in the tales under discussion of the conditions of happiness and the reasons for ...
