Introduction. The Vepsian language is a language of a minority nation, which has been in a focus of quite successful process of revitalization. Since 2012 a work on “Vepsian linguistic atlas” has been carried out aiming at elucidation of an issue of Finnic protolanguage fonectec, grammatic and lexical reflexes, an innovative Vepsian material, results of language contacts and finally of the problems of Vepsian dialect area forming.
Materials and Methods. Within linguistic geography method the research material is a Vepsian dialect material collected by means of a special questionnaire of “Vepsian linguistic atlas” as well as from various archives and published materials with a clear record system and determined locations of the dialect material.
Results and Discussion. The article presents research study of Vepsian dialects and dialect history. It describes some principles of “Vepsian linguistic atlas” based on three linguistic maps (Vepsian names for ‘soft’, ‘garret’, ‘snake’), which show the etymology of Vepsian lexical reflects of the Finnic protolanguage or Finno-Ugric languages, its innovative character and borrowings.
Conclusion. The presented materials allow to observe the development of Vepsian central areas, which often demonstrate ancient reflexes of Finnic protolanguage together with formation of various innovations. From the other side, peripheral territories (Vepsian Eastern dialects of Babayevo district of Vologda region), located on the border of Vepsian language area, currently demonstrate a strong will to save own language system and lexicon, a heritage of the Vepsian ancient language. Vepsian substrate, which is said to be partially lost in the border territories, appear in lexemes almost forgotten in some even central dialects, influencing Vepsian dialect area’s formation. This supports an idea of a special longing of the border territories to preserve own identity, own characteristics in comparison with the population around.

Key words: Vepsian language; linguistic geography; language areas; etymology.

Introduction. In Russian linguistics, there is a dominance of a functional (communicative) approach to the consideration of questions of bilingualism. Fluency in a foreign language leads to the appearance of intermediate system which differs from the mother tongue by the presence of two systems of signifiers. The inevitable phenomenon of interference leads primarily to phonetic errors in the speech of the bilinguals. This article reviews the mechanisms of realization of interrogative sentences with the direct word order in the Mari and French languages and makes comparative analysis of the findings. The relevance of the research is caused by the interference processes in conditions of artificial bilingualism. This subject of this research is the difference in intonation of interrogative sentences in Mari and French, the object of the research is a general question with the direct word order in the compared languages. The aim is to identify universal and distinctive features in Mari and French interrogative sentences with direct word order.
Materials and Methods. The data for the research was the recordings of the speech of the speakers of the French language as the native and French spoken by Mari students. Comparative method of studying interference gives objective data on differences in systems of contacting languages. It explains the linguistic reasons for intonation errors. An experimental phonetic research of the speech of Mari students studying French plays an important role. An intonographic method to compare the melodies of various communicative types of Mari and French phrases was used during the course of the study.
Results and Discussion. The Mari language reveals a universal character of the intonation processing of the questions with direct word order, which is ascending melody of the intonation center of the phrase. The differences from the intonation of the French sentence is the place of the intonation center, the movement of the tone on precentral and postcentral syllables, as well as the dynamic structure of the phrases. The instrumental analysis shows a minor difference between the standard French intonation and the record of the voice of Mari student pronouncing this type of French phrases, namely: a relatively smooth intonation in the initial and middle parts of the phrase, the lowering tone on the initial syllables, which is not in the standard, and the melodic rise on the accented syllable.
Conclusion. The native speakers of the Mari language in generally correctly reproduce the melodic structure of the French phrase. However, prosodic interference affects the intonation contour of phrases in the initial and middle parts of it, and their rhythmical-syllabic structure: different temporal characteristics, the slowing rate of the speech, the stretch of the pretonic syllables and the increase of the number of accents.

Key words: bilingualism interference; comparative analysis; prosodeme system; experimental and phonetic methods.

Introduction. The newspaper, being considered a medium of mass communication, has unlimited accessibility, facilitating the transition from a pre-national, unformed and functionally limited state to a nationwide, normed and functionally expanded state. Given this meaning, the author provides a linguistic analysis of the newspapers texts published in the Erzyan language in the 1920s and 1930s. of XX century. The purpose of the article is to describe the journalistic language based on observations of certain linguistic indicators that reflect the formation and normalization of Erzya’s literary language. The object of research is the syntactic structure and lexical content of the texts of the first Erzya newspapers. Conclusions and provisions of the article can be used in the preparation of teaching manuals and lectures on the course “Lexicology of the Mordovian languages”.
Methods and Materials. When revealing typical linguistic indicators, the descriptive and comparative typological methods of investigation are applied. The empirical database were the newspapers Chin Styamo (Sunrise), Yakster Teshte (Krasnaya Zvezda), Yakster Sokitsa (Red Plowman), Erzyan Kommun (Erzyan Commune).
Results and Discussion. For a detailed description of the language material, it is classified according to the following lexical-thematic groups: a) texts containing socio-political information; b) texts reflecting the development of the economic system; c) texts on social, popular and cultural issues; d) texts of artistic works. In each of the groups, there are substantive, verb, adjective and adverbial phrases. The proposed article describes the lexical composition of substantive and verbal collocations.
Conclusion. As a result of the analysis of the syntactic structure and lexical composition it was concluded that in substantive and verbal phrases both native lexical elements, and borrowings from the Russian language or internationalists that are included in the Erzya language through Russian are equally represented. That allowed us to distinguish the combinations consisting of: a) original vocabulary; b) original vocabulary and borrowings; c) only borrowings.

Key words: word combination; syntactic structure; lexical composition; primordial vocabulary; borrowing; sentence.

Introduction. Somatic vocabulary, belonging to the oldest layer of lexical language, has long been the focus of linguists. Somatic tokens occupy a special place in the phraseological foundation of many languages. Research shows that most common somatisms are the names of the outer parts of the human body. The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that phraseological units with a somatic component is a large group of phraseological units in the Hungarian, Finnish and Moksha languages, which requires additional study. The object of the study is a comparative analysis of phraseological units in these languages, taking into account their semantic characteristics. The subject of the study is phraseological units with the somatic component fej / pää / пря ‘head’. The purpose of the study is to identify common semantic regularities in the phraseological foundation of the named distant Finno-Ugric languages, the definition of full or partial equivalents and equivalents of phraseological units.
Materials and Methods. The material of the study was the phraseology with the somatic component fej / pää / пря ‘head’, selected by us using the method of continuous sampling from the phraseological and bilingual dictionaries of the Finnish, Hungarian and Mokshan languages. The study involves comparative, comparative and descriptive methods of analysis.
Results and Discussion. The phraseological units selected by us in the studied languages with somatic meaning “head” could be classified according to the principle of the semantic characteristic into four groups: 1) cognitive activity; 2) a person’s mental abilities; 3) physical and mental condition; 4) behavior.
Conclusion. Somatic phraseological units with the component fej / pää / пря ‘head’ in the Hungarian, Finnish and Moksha languages express different meanings that coincide in most cases with the studied languages, which allowed them to be combined on the basis of a common semantic feature. Along with this, the prevalence of full and partial equivalents has been established; the presence of separate non-equivalent phraseological units in the languages represented shows the national and cultural identity of the speakers of these languages.

Key words: phraseological units; somatic component; semantics; Hungarian language; Finnish language; Moksha language.

T. V. Pashkova (Petrozavodsk, Russia). The names of some mythogical diseases according to the Karelian language

Posted on 12.12.2017 by editor

The names of some mythogical diseases according to the Karelian language

Pashkova Tatiana V.,
Candidate Sc. {Philology}, Associate Professor, Department of Baltic-Finnish Philology, Petrozavodsk State University (Petrozavodsk, Russia), tvp-1979@mail.ru

Introduction. The subject of the article is related to folk medicine of the Karelians. Studying the rituals of diagnosing the sources of the disease and medical rituals, we paid attention to the actual names of the diseases and their etymology, since many names include the information about the cause of the illness and the way of its treatment. The purpose of the article is to study the names of mythological diseases in the dialects of the Karelian language. The subject of the study is the names of diseases in the Karelian language. Earlier, some researchers (K. Astedt, T. Vuorela, etc.) touched upon the nomination of mythological diseases in the Baltic-Finnish languages, but they did not researched the Karelian names. The presented material is relevant, since for the first time the names of diseases are considered in the mythological representations of the Karelians.
Materials and Methods. The solution of the tasks was carried out using comparative, comparative-historical and ethnolinguistic methods. We have presented dialect variants of national names of diseases in the Karelian language, as well as correspondences in the Baltic-Finnic and Finno-Ugric languages, which allowed us to draw conclusions of a comparatively historical nature. When determining the origin of a lexeme, data from unrelated languages were taken into account. The material was published in Russian, Karelian and Finnish languages, as well as field materials collected by the author in the regions of the Republic of Karelia.
Results and Discussion. In the course of the study, the collected vocabulary (names of diseases) was considered from the point of view of word-formation analysis (deverbal / denominal names), etymology, and semantics. In addition, we considered the information about Karelian folk medicine, which could indicate the possible origin of the name.
Conclusion. As a result of the study, the lexemes that were used in the dialects of the Karelian, Livvik and Lyubikovo dialects to denote mythological diseases were identified. The collected names are formed from verbs and nouns by attaching suffixes (most often the suffix -hine / -hini). A number of lexemes have a primordially Baltic-Finnish origin or are Slavic borrowings.

Key words: vocabulary; Karelian language; ethnolinguistics; beliefs of Karelia; the Karelian folk medicine; nomination.

Creation of maps of Mordovian ethnos resettlement in Siberian region on the data of USSR population census of 1926

Ivlieva Natalia G.,
Cand. Sc. {Engineering}, Associate Professor, Department of Geodesy, Cartography and Geoinformatics, Ogarev Mordovia State University (Saransk, Russia), gkg_mrsu@mail.ru

Introduction. The Mordvian people are characterized by the residence of a significant part of the ethnic group outside of the ethnic territory. Using of modern methods of cartographic visualization and mathematical-cartographic modeling, it is possible to reveal regularities and features of the processes of Mordovian settlement in Siberia.
The object of the study was the territory of the settlement of the Mordovian people. The subject of the study is a cartographic representation of the location of the Mordva in Siberia on the basis of the population census. The aim of the research is to identify the specific features of the location of the Mordovian population in the Siberian region according to the data of the All-USSR Census of 1926 using GIS technologies. The developed maps can be used in future by historians, geographers, specialists in Finno-Ugric Studies, and others.
Materials and Methods. As accounting and statistical sources, the materials from the All-Union Population Census of 1926 were used. Within the framework of this work, MapInfo GIS functionality for geoinformation mapping was used.
Results and Discussion. To conduct research on the spatial aspects of placing the Mordovian people in Siberia in the 1920s, it was necessary to reconstruct the administrative division scheme of the territory for the period under study. As a result of the cartographic modeling performed on the basis of GIS technologies, a series of maps were created on the territory of the Siberian region that show the spatial aspects of the settlement of the Mordovian ethnos in Siberia at different territorial levels. The application of geo-information methods in historical studies allowed to analyze various sources, visualize the nature and features of the spread of the phenomenon being studied.
Conclusion. The integration of sciences, which has become one of the leading trends in the modern development of the scientific worldview, allows the creation of new knowledge. A large body of data obtained through population censuses can be effectively analyzed on the basis of modern GIS technologies. The created series of maps on the basis of the All-Union Population Census of 1926 provides an opportunity to study the spatial and temporal features of the Mordovian settlement in Siberia.

Key words: maps; Mordovians resettlement; Siberian region; All-Union Population Census of 1926; GIS technologies.

V. N. Nemechkin (Saransk, Russia). Finno-Ugric civic diplomacy: theoretical, legal and practical aspects

Posted on 12.12.2017 by editor

Finno-Ugric civic diplomacy: theoretical, legal and practical aspects

Nemechkin Vasilii N.,
Candidate Sc. {Law}, Associate Professor of the Department of Legal Disciplines, Ogarev Mordovia State University (Saransk, Russia), modmn@mail.ru

Introduction. The article reveals the theoretical and legal aspects of Finno-Ugric civic diplomacy, under which the author understands the diplomacy of Finno-Ugric NGOs. The author examines the activities of the main actors in the sphere of public diplomacy among the Finno-Ugric NGOs of Hungary, Finland, Estonia, and the Russian Federation. The article considers the forms of cooperation between the institutions of civil society of the Finno-Ugric countries in such spheres as education, science, culture, branding, and tourism. The author also studies the activities of Finno-Ugric NGOs in the framework of United Nations mechanisms on the rights of indigenous peoples.
Materials and Methods. The methodology of the research is based on a systematic approach that incorporates structural, formal, legal, historical and other methods of scientific cognition. The material was the research of international and Russian authors devoted to theoretical and practical aspects of civil (public) diplomacy, “soft power”, “people’s diplomacy”. Examining Finno-Ugric aspect of civic diplomacy directly, the author examined the works of Finno-Ugric scholars on the Finno-Ugric peoples.
Results and Discussion. In the modern world, civic organizations are more and more often are the initiators and conductors of public dialogue in the international arena. In this regard, the role of civil society institutions in matters of international cooperation is increasing at times. Given the diversity of positions, the author gives the following definition of public diplomacy: it is the informal activity of individuals and legal entities (NGOs) aimed at developing cooperation between civil society institutions, peoples and states. Accordingly, Finno-Ugric civic diplomacy is the activity of individuals and legal entities (NGOs) aimed at developing cooperation between Finno-Ugric NGOs, peoples and states.
Conclusion. The author comes to the conclusion that Finno-Ugric non-governmental organizations lay a solid foundation for international cooperation of citizens, legal entities, and the development of inter-state relations of the Finno-Ugric countries (bilateral, multilateral cooperation).

Key words: civic diplomacy; public diplomacy; soft power; non-governmental organizations; international cooperation; Finno-Ugric peoples.

Introduction. The article presents the results of a study of young families living in rural areas of the Republic of Mordovia, to examine the main factors and elements comprising familistical culture of the studied families. The relevance of the study due to the fact that a young family is the point of intersection of socio-cultural elements and the society makes higher demands as to the source of providing the human and intellectual resources. The research goal is to reveal contradictions between the needs and possibilities of young families to shape family values, to preserve traditions and to implement the marriage and family setting in modern rural society.
Materials and Methods. The most significant role in determining the methodological approaches of the research were: the concept of a young family as a crisis stage of development of the family (A. I. Antonov, A. Giddens, C. Jeffrey, L. Mcdoweland); the concept of modernization a young family (A. G. Volkov, V. I. Zhukov, E. I. Zritneva, U. Baeck, H. Vinken); its unique and specific features; dependency of a young family on the living conditions (E. Yu. Garanina, S. I. Grigoriev, L. G. Guslyakova, S. V. Pavlov, L. Simons, C. Burt, R. Tambling); the concept of social exclusion of families, youth, living in rural areas (P. Commins, M. Shucksmith ); the concept of the specificity and uniqueness of a young family (I. G. Akhmedov, I. F. Dementieva, J. Myklebus, B. Solvang). The formation of areas of theoretical analysis and the research problem has also occurred with regard to the scientific positions of research of the determination of the characteristics of family life regarding to regional, settlement, ethnic factors (Z. Bednarikova, M. Bavorova, E. V. Ponkina), including in the Mordovian families (Z. I. Akimova, E. G. Kovalenko). It applied scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, interpretation, systemic method, secondary analysis of empirical data of sociological research. The study was conducted using questionnaires, which main tools were the questionnaire of the sociological survey of young families.

Social-project method in preservation and development of traditions of Erzya family in the Republic of Mordovia

Lediaikin Evgenii E.,
Post-graduate student Department of Social Work,

Chairperson of the Board of the Regional Public Organization “Erzya cultural and educational society «Voice of Erzya»”, eesmgttl.l@gmail.com

Introduction. The author shows the transformation processes in the life of Erzya families in the Republic of Mordovia, as well as the system of factors that led to the changes in the family of Erzya. The changes that are taking place require active measures to preserve and strengthen the traditional Erzya family in the region. The purpose of the work is the emergence and dissemination of national traditions of Erzya families.
Methods and Materials. As a way to achieve this goal, it proposes the program-target method. In addition, when designing a family center project, it uses a socio-project method.
Results and Discussion. Within the framework of the developing programme “Erzya Family: Traditions and Modernity”, the author presents the social project of the family center, which is planned to be implemented in one of the villages of the Republic. The center is aimed at the organization of joint activities of the older and younger generations in the form of master classes. Their implementation involves the transfer from grandmothers and grandfathers to children and adolescents the knowledge about national traditions of the Erzya, as well as the skills of following festive and everyday rites. The result of the work of the family center will be the cultural organization of the leisure time of families, the raising of the cultural level of the population, the revival of the national traditions of the Erzya people and the national identity, the convergence of the family generations, which all together will contribute to the strengthening of the Erzya family in an specific village.
Conclusion. The result of the functioning of the family center should be the strengthening of the family and the spread of national culture in the village, and further on to the city.

Key words: Erzya family; transformation; social project; a family center; club work; tradition; master class.

S. A. Popova (Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia). The Bear’s Festival of the Northern group of the Mansi: linguistic taboo

The Bear’s Festival of the Northern group of the Mansi: linguistic taboo

Popova Svetlana A.,
Candidate Sc. {History}, Leading Research Fellow, Scientific Research Department of History, Archeology and Ethnology Ob-Ugric Institute of Applied Research and Developments (Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia), rusina-popova@yandex.ru

Introduction. In the traditional Mansi culture after the bear’s hunt there is a cycle of ceremonial actions (bear festival). The study considers the description and characteristics of the tabooed “bear” language used during them. Mansiysky bear festival ceased to be performed in a full variant in the first half of the 20th century. At the same time, there has been no proper research, except for rare publications. The importance of studying this issue is that it is one of the significant ritual elements, showing ethnic specificity of the people, but it is poorly represented in research.
Materials and Methods. For the first time, there is a database of field research records made at 6 Mansi bear festival in Berezovsky district of the Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug – Ugra (1994, 2000, 2001, 2011). It also employs the method of cognitive anthropology. The research itself is based on the principle of historicism.
Results and Discussion. In folklore and religious representations of Mansi the bear (in the northern group of Mansi she-bear) embodies the mythological ancestor of the phratry “por” and is believed as a sacred animal. One of the important elements of the bear festival is the “bear language” (in the presence of a bear one cannot use ordinary spoken language, all objects, actions are called dummy words). The prohibition proceeds from the mythological similarity of a human and a bear and the animal’s understanding of human speech. It was created to mislead the animal and take it away from the hunter and the inhabitants of the settlement.
Conclusion. The research materials contain fragmentary information about such a phenomenon as a hidden, sacred “bear language”. We initiated sporadic Mansi bear rites (it is still rare, as it is requires the reconstruction of its lost or endangered parts, including “bear language”). Tabooed language as part of the spiritual culture of the Mansi people will contribute to the preservation of the traditional belief system as a whole.

Key words: Mansi; bear; celebration; taboo; “Bear language”; dance-sketch.
