Abstract

As an important literary form, nursery rhymes play an important guiding and exemplary role in children’s education and can help to teach children some common sense and cultivate their good habits. All countries in the world have their own unique nursery rhymes. This paper classifies nursery rhymes about animals, natural phenomena and daily life in Thailand. By using induction, typical research and comparative analysis, this paper concludes that the words used in Thai nursery rhymes are simple and popular, with a general use of mimetic word, modal particle, reduplication or repetition, and personification and figurative rhetoric. In terms of value, different Thai nursery rhymes play different roles, but their main purpose is to teach children some life knowledge, help them develop good living and learning habits, and guide children to establish a good moral character.
