The article considers some points of originality of expressive means of the all-Caucasian epos «Sledge» in its various national versions. States the connection between ideological ontology of the epic arches, realities of the historical past of ethnoses-carriers of «Nartiada» and nature of use of loci communes in the texts. Formulates the hypothesis of dependence of the use of «platitudes», their rates in the narration about actual problems of the peoples, about the mechanisms determining the perception of the narrative formants of the legends as conditionally esthetic or illusory real. Puts forward and gives reasons to the assumption that the conceptual content of the epic works influences in a decisive way their interpretation of the information stored in them, is fixes in the typology of steady formulas and, finally, in many respects defines a perceptual originality of the legends of this or that ethnic origin.
