Straipsnyje tiriamas Simono Daukanto (1793–1864) istoriografinio teksto poveikis Vydūno (tikr. Vilhelmas Storostas, 1868–1953) dramoms. Vydūno publicistika rodo, kad nuo 1900 m. jo tekstuose pagausėja S. Daukanto paminėjimų, skelbiamos istoriko tekstų ištraukos. 1900 m. parašytoje dramoje „Probočių šešėliai“ aptinkama nemažai S. Daukanto intertekstų. Straipsnyje, remiantis S. Daukanto ir Vydūno tekstų lyginamąja analize, iškeliama hipotezė, kad dramų autorius buvo idealus istoriko tekstų skaitytojas ir iš jų perėmė koncepcijas, motyvus, vaizdinius. S. Daukantas Vydūną įkvėpė, ir šis sėkmingai vartojo daugelį istoriko sukurtų frazių, patekusių į lietuvių romantinės istoriografijos bendrųjų vietų sąrašą. Vydūnas pirmasis objektyvizavo S. Daukanto sukurtą pasaulį ir lietuviams leido scenoje pabūti senovės lietuvio vaidmenyje ir atsirinkti, kas, kuriant modernią lietuvių visuomenę, vis dar būtų aktualu. Analizė parodė, kad Vydūnas S. Daukanto istoriografijos sukurtą senovės lietuvių pasaulį pamatė kaip archetipą ir perkėlė į filosofinį lygmenį, sukūrė universalų asmenybės ir tėvynės jungties modelį, o dramose pateikė imitacinius modelius siūlomai aksiologijai patikrinti.

One of the most important indicators of contacts between the specified related westbaltic tribes – finds of those types of brooches which have steady ethno-cultural coloring. As a result of studying of distribution of a row the brooches of Curonians in the earth of pruss was succeeded to establish that degree of the international contacts in the southeast Baltic before arrival of the Award was high.

The article shows what information the press between 1905 and 1940 provided Lithuanian readers about Shrovetide celebratory traditions around the world. The information collected, consisting of seven articles, thirty photographs and drawings, is fragmentary but fairly informative, providing a good and concise understanding of this cultural phenomenon in a popular manner. By surveying and interpreting the available data, it tries to answer several questions: what significance these publications might have had on Shrovetide celebratory traditions and methods of celebration in early 20th-century Lithuania; how this information correlates with current academic research and known empirical data; what Lithuanian Shrovetide had in common with the winter-spring carnival celebrated around the world.
This article gives an insight into the vocabulary of one of the sub-dialects of the Central dialect of the Latvian language – namely, the sub-dialect spoken in Bārta, a place in South-Western Kurzeme. The focus of the article is on those lexical units of the Bārta sub-dialect that are included in one of the most important works of Latvian linguistics – the Latvian Language Dictionary (1923–1932) and it’s Appendix (1934–1946), compiled and published by Kārlis Mīlenbahs, Jānis Endzelīns and Edīte Hauzenberga. The material analyzed here is taken from the electronic version of the Latvian Language Dictionary (www.tezaurs.lv/mev). The vocabulary of the Bārta sub-dialect is represented there by approximately 660 words, among which there are 330 nouns, 253 verbs, 38 adjectives, 30 adverbs, 7 particles, 2 interjections, 2 conjunctions, and 1 preposition.
The purpose of this article is to find connections between two seemingly unrelated objects in art – the image of sea and the sound of organ. The author believes that an area of semantic overlapping exists between these phenomena: the properties of organ sound production, as well as the technical and artistic means of expression a priori hold certain properties that enable evocative and convincing reproduction of certain characteristics of the image of sea.The article analyses four main parameters for the comparison of the image of sea and the sound of organ: the infinite sense of time, the incomprehensible and vast sense of space, the broadness of dynamic scale and the multitude of diverse colours (richness of timbres). This research is based on the organ music oeuvre devoted to the image of sea by the Latvian composer Romualds Jermaks. However, similar interconnections could conceivably be discovered upon analysis of the sea-theme related organ works by other composers.
On the ground of conceptual metaphor conception, metaphor is discussed as thinking strategy, which is implemented in language by metaphorical expressions. Metaphorical expressions for which target domain is criminal and crime were gathered from texts which were published in two Lithuanian news portals in the years 2001–2015.

Autorės atliktame kokybiniame (empiriniame) tyrime 2016–2019 m. (tyrimas tęsiamas; atlikta 30 giluminių interviu su alternatyvią mediciną praktikuojančiais asmenimis) Lietuvos didžiuosiuose miestuose išryškėjoa, kad alternatyvius gydymo(si) metodus praktikuojantys asmenys ligą ir sveikatą interpretuoja ne vien kaip fizinio, bet ir kaip filosofinio – metafizinio – pasaulio dalį. Tyrimo duomenys atskleidė sveikatos (gerovės) kaip harmonijos, pusiausvyros būsenos tarp asmens išorinio (fizinio) ir vidinio pasaulių tarsi mikro- ir makropasaulių bei jų dinamiškų sąsajų, tarpusavio rezonanso traktuotę. Liga, arba negalavimas, yra interpretuojama kaip balanso, savojo kelio, švaros praradimas.
