This article focuses on Curonisms, i.e. words originated from Latvian based dialects spoken on the Curonian Spit and to the north of Klaipėda until 1945, which were encountered in the so-called German-Lithuanian Richter-Wörterbuch from the 18th century. These hitherto widely neglected Curonisms have been identified on the basis of the Deutsch-Kurisches Wörterbuch by Richard Pietsch, Kurisches Wörterbuch by Paul Kwauka and Richard Pietsch, the LKŽe and the Lettisch-deutsches Wörterbuch by Karl Mühlenbachs and Jānis Endzelīns.

Abstract
Usage of a special psychology concept – chronotope of communicative activity of preschool children with delay of mental development is substantiated by the author in the paper. It is made clear, that chronotope of communicative activity is the complex socio-psychological phenomenon which is constructed by personality as a result of his / her real and virtual co-operation and communication in measuring of everyday and unordinary reality with Other, that is opened out in timeline and value-semantic continuum of life. The constituents of space of communicative activity at everyday level of consciousness that are incarnated in research of direct co-operation and communication with adults and same-year fellows are marked. The constituents of space of communicative activity have been exposed at extraordinary level of consciousness which is realized in the mediated co-operating and communication with a favourite toy and imaginary partner, with animation personages. It was emphasised that the conceptual framework of the developed concept is integrity based at different approaches, at systematic, axiology, cultural, historical; social and psychological; subject-environmental and body-based, technique scientific approaches that are synthesized in the personality-oriented paradigm of education.

Abstract
Literacy is a concept, which almost has taken over and included concepts like reading, writing and inter human social communication in general. However, it has only recently been integrated into the AAC-fields connected to social work, special education and assistive technologies. This paper focuses on some key-questions regarding AAC and literacy, mentioning that the holistic approach of AAC in combination with a general linguistic theory as the one by Charles Peirce, creates a more whole or holistic perspective for thinking and looking for answers on these questions. The social model created by Uri Bronfenbrenner is also very applicable. Even though a holistic approach demands openness on the behalf of the teacher or interventionist as well as of the user her/himself, it is important to remember the need for good methods and methodology, based upon good practical evidence with the common target to acquire literacy.

Nepaisant gausių mokslinių tyrimų apie bendruomenes, jų organizacijas, egzistuoja poreikis ir toliau jas analizuoti, siekiant atsakyti į klausimą, kokią įtaką bendruomenių organizacijos, centrai (toliau – BC), jų veikla daro vietos bendruomenių gyvenimui, nes vien BC buvimas dar nerodo jo sukuriamos pridėtinės vertės. Straipsnyje siekiama ištirti, kokią veiklą vykdo bendruomenių centrai ir kokią įtaką jie daro Lietuvos vietos bendruomenėms. Atliktas kiekybinis tyrimas, apklausiant BC vadovus. Gauti rezultatai atskleidė Lietuvos BC veiklos ir jos pobūdžio sąsajas su vietos bendruomenės kultūriniais, socialiniais poreikiais, vietos tradicijomis, disponuojamais žmogiškaisiais, finansiniais, infrastruktūriniais ir kt. ištekliais. Rezultatai leidžia daryti prielaidas, kad BC veikia ir kaip socialinių tinklų vietos bendruomenėje plėtotojas, socialinės tapatybės, vertybių, tradicijų vienas iš formuotojų, be to, vykdantis ir neformalią socialinę kontrolę.
Collecting folk music and ethnographic materials for a long time in one locality forms a collection of records and the analytical database. This allows you to make a comparison and reveal the dynamics of the change in the people’s traditions, identify the factors that affect it. For ethnomusicologists, there is rarely a happy opportunity to compare modern folk music records (late 20th – early 21st centuries) with materials from the late 19th – early 20th centuries (at that time the foundations of traditional life were still preserved). One of such opportunities is provided by records in the village Romanovka in the Popelnya district of the Zhytomyr region (north-eastern edge of the Podillia). In this village folk customs, rituals and songs began to fix approximately the 1870s. The article covers the song genres of the calendar cycle: carols («kolyadki»), «schedrovki», spring games and round dances («khorovody»), «petrovki» and reaping («zhnyvni») tunes. Records of the beginning of the XXI century with musical notations are published for the first time.
