РУССКОЕ ФОЛЬКЛОРНОЕ СЛОВО В ЖАНРОВОМ АСПЕКТЕ

Аннотация

The article tells about the uniqueness of the folklore word and the difficulties of its lexicographic description by traditional means. A brief summary of the experience in creating register type dictionaries by linguafolklorists from Kursk is presented. The aforementioned dictionary type is designed for folklore language studies and enables the scholars to rely on it as a factual basis in researches on folk language. Certain examples demonstrate the potential of a concordance for comparative analysis and how it assists in revealing genre peculiarities of folklore language. Various methods of detecting genre features within language material are suggested. The concordance of lyrical songs and bylinas recorded in Siberia and the Far East was chosen as the research basis. Concordances are concluded to be a reliable and valuable source of objective data. Perspectives of further research are outlined.
