Laumane, Benita. Identitātes meklējumi: Nīcas, Otanķu, Pērkones mājvārdi un uzvārdi

Abstract

Naujoji latvių kalbininkės Benitos Laumanės knyga skirta onomastikai. Autorė yra gerai žinoma baltistikos srityje kaip tyrėja, ypatingą dėmesį skirianti atskiriems leksikos sluoksniams, ypač tiems, kurie yra reprezentatyvūs regiono gamtos ir kultūros savitumo liudininkai. Tokia prieiga prie onomastikos svarbi etnolingvistikos požiūriu. Apie tai kalba teoriniai darbai, iškeliantys kalbos, ne tik kaip autonominės ženklų sistemos, bet ir kaip teksto, kuris skirtas pasaulėvaizdžio kūrimui ir perdavimui, reikšmę (Fontaine 2017). Regioninės leksikos tyrimai atskleidžia kalbos priemonėmis kuriamą ir palaikomą vietos kalbėtojų mentalinį žemėlapį, kurio kontūrai gali siekti labai senus laikus ir egzistuoti mūsų dienomis (Möller, Elspaß 2021).

Abstract

Linguistic expressions not only give great freedom for the pleasures of the imagination and the emotions, but are also a common way for singers to express the nature of their personal life in an indirect form of communication. Melancholic and enthusiastic musical works can evoke strong emotions in listeners, and analysing their linguistic features can help us understand how they create these emotions. This research analyses numerous linguistic devices to determine how melancholy and enthusiasm are represented in vast Lana Del Rey’s discography. Thus, the purpose is to overview Lana Del Rey’s entire body of work, understand what emotions are predominant in her music, and what linguistic means of expression are used to convey them. The purpose will be achieved by completing the following tasks: to investigate the notion of linguistic expressions in language; to review Lana Del Rey’s musical works and gather all linguistic expressions in order to classify them according to the emotions that they evoke; to identify linguistic expressions of melancholy and enthusiasm that are used in Lana Del Rey’s vast discography and define their characteristics; to determine the most dominant linguistic expression of melancholy and enthusiasm specifying the dominant emotion.

Abstract

Globalisation and migration have resulted in a growing number of children of Lithuanian descent being raised abroad, where their connection to the native language develops outside the natural linguistic environment. Lithuanian heritage schools play a crucial role in maintaining the Lithuanian language and the national identity; however, attendance is limited, and children’s motivation to learn Lithuanian depends on various family, educational and social factors. This article examines instruction in Lithuanian as a non-native language in heritage schools, with particular focus on students’ learning motivation. Empirical data were collected in 2025 through a quantitative survey involving 47 teachers from Lithuanian heritage schools in 15 countries, and 112 parents abroad raising children up to the age of 18. The questionnaires were designed based on theoretical sources on motivation, bilingualism and heritage language learning, and the results were analysed statistically. The findings highlight the pedagogical, family and social factors shaping children’s motivation, and contribute to a deeper understanding of Lithuanian language education in the diaspora.

Open Access

Journal: Res Humanitariae Volume 33, Issue 1 (2025), pp. 224–244

Abstract

The article analyses the Holodomor and the instruments the authorities employed during the famine, through the prism of testimonies and memoirs about the famine by witnesses and survivors. The author focuses on how the authorities organised rural communities and their way of life before and during the man-made famine, and the perception by the survivors of this social engineering and the activities of the perpetrators of the Holodomor at the level of ordinary people. Archival and oral history data are used, and the source criticism method is applied. The author shows its limitations, and suggests options for further research on the perpetrators.

Journal: Res Humanitariae Volume 33, Issue 1 (2025), pp. 211–223

Abstract

How thoroughly does the listener “measure” and reflect on the mathematical-acoustic foundation of the work Bolé LT for string orchestra and spatial system? There may be at least a couple of answers, depending on the versions of the work presentation. The first is if a “libretto” or score is provided. In this case, the listener attempts to relate the sound images to the described structural principles of the work. How successful this is depends on the individual and on the psychological adequacy of the structural principles. This study examines the second case – when there is no such „libretto.“ Methods: acoustic analysis, literature analysis, comparison, and generalization.

Abstract

This article examines the phenomenon of the simultaneous functioning of three types of valačobnyja (Easter hymn) song melodies in the Hlybokaje, Miory and Šarkaŭščyna districts of the Viciebsk region of Belarus, relying on authentic terminology recorded during folklore-ethnographic expeditions. The study revealed that the ‘folk’ classification of these song melodies is based on an ethno-confessional component, and is consciously used by local tradition-bearers to differentiate and label types of song melody.

BENDRATAUČIŲ EUROPINIŲ MUZIKOS INSTRUMENTŲ POVEIKIS TRADICINIAM VAKARŲ AUKŠTAIČIŲ IR ŽEMAIČIŲ KANKLIŲ REPERTUARUI | THE IMPACT OF MULTINATIONAL EUROPEAN ETHNIC MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS ON THE TRADITIONAL REPERTOIRE OF KANKLĖS MUSIC

Abstract

Based on archival material, data on ethnic instrumentology expeditions suggests that, while exchanging the traditions of ethnic musicianship and the typical originality of old music (polyphony and prevailing multinational European musical instruments), fiddles and bellows instruments had a significant impact on the kanklės music of the west Aukštaičiai and Žemaičiai. The change and nature of the repertoire were determined by the dance music performed on multinational instruments of the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, dance fashions, and the geographical position of Lithuania. The repertoire consisted mainly of European multinational dances. The harmonium and other bellows instruments prevailing in the 20th century have once and for ever changed the peculiarities of kanklės ethnic music, while ethnic music has influenced the traditions of folk music of bellows instruments and fiddles. The strongest influence from Central Europe was experienced by west Aukštaitija and Žemaitija.

Journal: Res Humanitariae Volume 33, Issue 1 (2025), pp. 140–161

Abstract

This article addresses the issue of the simple system wooden transverse flute as an instrument present in traditional and folk music in four musical traditions: Irish, Cuban, Breton (France) and Roztocze (Poland). It traces the instrument’s transition from the professional concert sphere to amateur practice, and characterises the regional specificities of its use (performance technique, ensemble function, repertoire). Such an approach to the wooden transverse flute in folklore is pioneering. In addition to existing scholarship, the article also draws in part on the author’s own research (including fieldwork) concerning the Polish context.

AUKŠTADVARIO APYLINKIŲ ŽEMDIRBIŲ TIKĖJIMAI IR PAPROČIAI JONO BALIO DARBŲ DUOMENIMIS II THE BELIEFS AND CUSTOMS OF FARMERS IN THE AUKŠTADVARIS REGION ACCORDING TO THE WORKS OF JONAS BALYS

Abstract

The article is based on agricultural customs and beliefs collected in the Lithuanian Folklore Archive taken from Lithuania by the ethnologist Jonas Balys and published in a book in the USA. The originals of the published sources are named in the Beliefs File (BF), and are stored in the library archive of the Institute of Lithuanian History. Based on this material, the article analyses the customs and beliefs of spring work in the Aukštadvaris region. The aim is to determine to what extent the published US sources correspond to the stored BF data, and it is concluded that most of the material published by Balys is BF, but there are unpublished as well as beliefs in the book which were not found in the Institute of Lithuanian History. The analysis of the beliefs about ploughing and sowing cereal crops and planting vegetables recorded in the Aukštadvaris region in the first half of the 20th century in the article revealed the possibility of using material from the book and the BF file to conduct a fully fledged study of the important local and wider area of the economic and spiritual life of farmers in the first half of the 20th century.
