About periodical and serial printed products of Kursk linguofolklorists

Abstract

The article provides a brief overview of periodical and serial printed products of Kursk linguofolklorists over the last 30 years. It is noted that in the mid-90s of the 20th century, a laboratory for the study of the language of folklore study was established at Kursk State University; and at the same time, the publishing activity of the laboratory began. The tasks of the periodicals “Folklore Lexicography” and “Linguofolkloristika” are described. The first one published materials for the dictionaries of the language of folklore that were being prepared for nine years, and the second one discussed various problems of the folk-song word in folklore works of different genres. The collection “Lingvofolkloristics”, which is still being published, is a collection of researches in a number of areas in the study of the language of oral folklore: folklore semantics, folklore lexicology, folklore lexicography, folklore dialectology and cross-cultural lingvofolkloristics. Serial production, which we understand as a set of publications identical in genre and/or structure, differing in the material of description, is represented by a number of concordances created on the material of lyric songs recorded in the 19th century in different regions of Russia, and a series of lexicographic complexes of non-ritual lyrics and fairy tales. The article states that the laboratory’s database of factual sources is replenished with a series of collections of folklore texts from the Kursk region.
