This study introduces lexical proximity analysis applied to motif and tale-type summaries in order to identify structural oppositions, assess their relative prominence in a corpus and enable further analysis. Findings are presented and discussed from a pilot study to assess Claude Lévi-Strauss’s hypothesis that myths are characterized by ‘strong’ oppositions while folktales are not. The methodology of lexical analysis can, however, be applied with a variety of aims.
