Материалом исследования послужили как ранее опубликованные тексты сокотрийского фольклора, так и данные полевых исследований, проведенных в 2021 и 2025 гг. В ходе полевой работы удалось записать легенду о «диком человеке» (опубликована ранее), а также обсудить с информантами имеющиеся в корпусе тексты жанра temtilo, что позволило дополнить их лексико-филологическими комментариями. Сопоставительный анализ показывает, что сокотрийские нарративы о «диких людях» обнаруживают ряд устойчивых мотивов, известных по европейской традиции, прежде всего в описании характерных черт «дикого человека». В то же время в легенде может быть выделена и типичная для подобных нарративов повествовательная схема, широко распространенная как в мировых фольклорных традициях, так и в документальных текстах. Наряду с этим легенда имеет ряд параллелей с историей Энкиду в «Эпосе о Гильгамеше». Таким образом, сокотрийский материал демонстрирует как универсальные, так и культурно специфические черты, позволяя уточнить место данных нарративов в более широком сравнительно-фольклорном контексте.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article examines folkloric motifs and imagery found in Soqotri narratives about “wild men.” The study draws on both published Soqotri folkloric texts and materials collected during fieldwork conducted in 2021 and 2025, which enabled the author to record a “wild man” legend (published previously elsewhere) and discuss known texts of the Soqotri temtilo genre with our informants to provide lexical and philological commentary. Comparative analysis suggests that Soqotri “wild men” narratives share a number of motifs with European traditions, particularly in the depiction of characteristic traits associated with the “wild” or “feral” man. At the same time, the legend follows a narrative scheme typical of “feral man” stories attested across the world. In addition, certain parallels can be observed with the figure of Enkidu in the Epic of Gilgamesh. The Soqotri material thus exhibits both universal and culturally specific features, contributing to a more precise understanding of these narratives within a broader comparative folkloric framework.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Сокотра</kwd><kwd>«дикий человек»</kwd><kwd>мотивы</kwd><kwd>сокотрийский фольклор</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Soqotra</kwd><kwd>wild man</kwd><kwd>motifs</kwd><kwd>Soqotri folklore</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено за счет гранта Российского научного фонда № 22-18-00163-П.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This research was supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation № 22-18-00163-П.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Bartra 1994 – Bartra R.
