Introduction. The research problem of the phenomenon of the funeral lamentations, particularly through the study of the folklore language, is one of the most topical ones due to the folklore being a real repository of the information about history, ethnography, beliefs, customs, national psychology and behavior, as well as human values.

Introduction. The article considers the work of national and foreign scholars. It analyses the linguistic representation of all layers of cultural concepts of traditional medicine of Mordovians based on the data collected during research expeditions in diachrony and synchrony from the point of view of ethnolinguistics, onomasiology, sociolinguistics and cognitive semantics. The purpose of the article is to consider traditional medicine of Mordva in the linguocultural aspect. The object of the study is the cultural concepts of folk medicine of Mordovians. The main points of the article can be used for such courses as “History of Mordovian culture”, “Culture of Finno-Ugric peoples”.
Materials and Methods. The article employs the methods of field ethnography (direct observation, immersion in culture, experiment, interview, conversation, description, classification). The empirical data of the study was collected during the expedition to the places of compact residence of the ethnic groups of Mordovians of Moksha, Erzya, and Shoksha (2013–2016); dictionaries, works of oral-poetic creativity of the Mordovian people, etc.
Results and Discussion. Traditional medicine of Mordva has always been in the center of attention of scholars: ethnographers, historians, folklorists, sociologists, however, in the linguocultural aspect has not been properly considered before. We conducted linguocultural interpretation of audiovisual sources (more than 3,500), questionnaires (243), names of diseases (124) and herbs used in medicine (148), spells from diseases (57), metaphors, polysemias in the names of diseases made it possible to identify ways of translating traditional culture in the content of methods of people’s treatment. The study makes it possible to outline further directions in the development of theoretical positions in the field of linguoculturology of the Mordovian ethnos.
Conclusion. Traditional Mordva medicine is part of traditional culture and an important element of traditional health-saving practice. The results of the analysis of lexicographical and text materials explicating the content of concepts in the Mordovian languages testify the cultural marking and information capacity of the lexical, semantic, phraseological, associative means of the language as well as they allow to identify the main cultural concepts in folk medicine of Mordovians.

Introduction. The Luga direction was one of the main migration routes for the Estonian population from the Estland province to the east. Here, many Estonians (with their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren) have found a home for many years. The distinctiveness and identity of the Eastern Estonians (in Estonian “idakandieestlased”, or “ida-estlased”), including Luga ones, is a kind of phenomenon that can be found in Russia as well. The descendants of the resettled Estonians have always maintained close ties with Estonia. The subject of the study is Luga Estonians as an ethnic group of Estonians who migrated on the territory of Luga district in the 19th–20th centuries; the object is the study of their identity. The aim of the research is to study the history and current status of this ethnic group. To achieve the goal, it considers a set of reasons for the resettlement of Estonians from Estonia to the east, namely to Luga district; determines the stages of resettlement of peasants; establish a list of places of compact residence of Estonians in the XIX–XX centuries; studies religious features of the population; discusses churches and parishes of the district that the Estonians attended; shows cultural features of the life of local Estonian community in Luga district of the St. Petersburg area; identifies traditions, including songs; tells about the famous Estonians, the natives of the district; analyzes current situation of the ethnic group in Luga district of the Leningrad region; identifies some toponymic names of the Luga region, which occur, according to one version, from the Estonian language. The practical significance of the work is indisputable, since the Estonians contributed to the history of the multinational Luga region, which until now has not been considered deeply by either national or international researchers. The main and in fact the only study of this community is the article by M. L. Zasetskaya, and there is no other literature on the subject.
Materials and Methods. The main methods used in the study were the generalization method, the system approach, the historical-descriptive method, analysis of the documents, and the empirical descriptive method. Numerous articles and notes from Estonian newspapers, as well as materials from Estonian archives were used to reconstruct the features of the life of Luga Estonians.
Results and Discussion. It shows the dynamics of the change of Estonian population in Luga region, which demonstrates its significant increase in the 1920s – the first half of the 1930s. (during the Soviet ‘localization policy’); the drop, starting from the second half of the 1930s, and also after the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945 (due to Stalin repressions of 1937–1938 and assimilation).
Conclusion. The phenomenon of Luga Estonians is unique and interesting for research. They made an invaluable contribution to the history and culture of multinational Luga region.
Key words: Luga Estonians; Estonia; Luga; Luga County; Luga region; Leningrad region; Eestlased Luuga rajoonis.

Introduction. Road culture (or culture of the road) is understood as a complex material and spiritual element of an ethnos, connected with travelling. It is a new successfully developing research area in Russian ethnology and anthropology. The paper considers the traditional road culture of the Karelians, which until now has not been subjected to a comprehensive study. Complex studies of road culture of the Karelians require new evidence. Pre-revolutionary periodicals are considered to be of the importance in this area and the newspaper “Olonetskiye Gubernskiye Vedomosti” [Olonets provincial newsletter] (1832 – 1917) has been chosen as the source. The research target is to reveal and analyze the data on road culture of the Karelians which is presented in that source.
Materials and Methods. The data of the research was based on the articles about road culture published in the “Olonetskiye Gubernskiye Vedomosti” newspaper. By the means of historiographic analysis it successfully opened information opportunities of this source, the data was classified and referred to thematic rubrics.
Results and Discussion. At the result of the research, thematic rubrics have been allocated, such as the main routes used by the Karelians, purposeful travels (odd jobs, buying and selling food and goods, pilgrimage and visiting relatives), means of transportation (wheeled – carts, one-wheelers, cabriolets, sliding – sledges, skis, water – karabasy, soymy, galliots), behavior on the road, rituals, legends.
Conclusion. The periodicals are an important source of traditional ethnic culture connected with traditional road culture of the ethnos. It is a basic resource referred to this topic with the possibility of representing historical reality. It highlights relevant issues that need to be addressed while working with other documents and collecting field material.
Key words: the Karelians; traditional road culture; ethnographic sources; Pre-revolutionary newspapers; ways of communication; transport; rituals; mythology.

Introduction. The object of the research is the concept of wealth in the Mari and English languages. The subject of the article is the verbalization of the concept wealth reflected in the paroemiological world view of the Mari language and American English. The objective of the work is to represent a comparative analysis of the paroemiological units, their typological similarities and differences in content and expression.
Materials and Methods. To reach the objective of the research, the descriptive, comparative, structural, semantic and statistical methods were used. The words poian, poianlyk, iorlo, nuzhna (поян, поянлык, йорло, нужна) serve as verbalizers in the Mari language and rich, riches, wealth are in American English. The analysis of the paroemias selected with the help of continuous sampling method from Mari and American dictionaries of proverbs allowed performing a semantic and contextual analysis of lexical units verbalizing the concept wealth.
Results and Discussion. As a result, the paper reveals common, universal and specific features of conceptualization in both linguocultures. The research shows common, partially common and specific dominant ideas with the prevalence of specific features, which proves that peoples are unique in perception and conceptualization of the world due to their own experience.
Conclusion. The conducted research allows to draw a conclusion about the uniqueness of the perception of the world, its special vision by each people in the conceptualization of reality on the basis of the experience of the ethnos.
Key words: proverb; paroemiological view of the world; concept; wealth; the Mari language; American English.

Introduction. The work considers the problem of the functioning and interpretation of taxis forms with semantics of simultaneity in the languages of the Finno-Ugric group. The existing description of these forms mostly refers to the formal side of the issue, while the semantics and pragmatics that underlie their competition have not received sufficient coverage so far. The purpose of the article is to provide a semantically and pragmatically oriented description of forms and refinement of existing typological classifications. The subject of the study is the converb forms in three languages: Moksh, Komi-Zyrian and Khanty. The results of the research can be used for the textbooks on grammatical semantics, as well as in the field studies.
Materials and Methods. The analysis of the forms was carried out on the basis of the data obtained in the survey of the speakers reside in the villages of Lesnoye Tsibaevo and Lesnoe Ardashevo of the Republic of Mordovia (2013–2015); Muzhi, Vosyakhovo, and Ovgort of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District (2016, 2017).
Results and Discussion. The paper makes a brief semantic description of the forms, and then it examines sequentially their use according to three typologically relevant parameters: the view of the situations, the pragmatic inclusion of situations and the pragmatic status of the dependent situation. Based on the distribution of forms for these parameters, it distinguishes three types of simultaneity: vague standard simultaneity forms, strict standard simultaneity forms and accompanying circumstance forms.
Conclusion. The discussed converb forms with the semantics of simultaneity show that the extracted parameters (viewpoint of the events, pragmatical inclusion of the events and pragmatical role of the dependent event) provide a clearer picture of the functioning and distribution of such forms in the Finno-Ugric languages and typology.
Key words: converb forms; taxis; simultaneity; semantics; pragmatics; Komi-Zyrian language; Moksha language; Khanty language.

Introduction. Despite the fact that the syntax of the Finno-Ugric languages has been actively studied only since the middle of the 20th century, there are a lot of works devoted to the structural, semantic, intonational features of the sentence, as well as cognitive linguistics, functional syntax, etc. The relevance of the study is due to the insufficiently developed problems of the syntax of a sentence in Finno-Ugric linguistics. It happened that traditionally in Finno-Ugric languages the syntax has been given less attention than other aspects. The topicality is defined by the importance of a simple sentence in the syntactic system of Finno-Ugric languages, inadequate identification of its functional and communicative capabilities. The subject of the study is simple sentences in Finno-Ugric languages. The objectives of the study are to characterize and compare simple sentences in Finno-Ugric languages.
Materials and Methods. We used comparative historical, and typological methods. A general theoretical and methodological data was collected from the works on Finno-Ugric syntax of Russian and foreign researchers, works in general linguistics, and the theory of syntax. The material of the study was fiction and folklore texts.
Results and Discussion. Simple sentences in each of the Finno-Ugric languages are described in accordance with the division of the latter into the Western, Saami, Volga, Perm and Ob-Ugric branches. The classification of sentences is based on such characteristics as: the number of members of the sentence, the type of the predicate, the presence or absence of distributors, the form of the subject, words order.
Conclusion. Simple sentences are actively used in all Finno-Ugric languages and are very diverse. There are one-member sentences, which in a number of languages can be impersonal, definite personal, indefinite personal, generalised personal and nominative sentences, and two-member sentences, among which there are derived and kernel sentences, complete and elliptical ones.
Key words: syntax; Finno-Ugric languages; history; simple sentence; one-member sentence; two-members sentence.

Introduction. The article analyses artistic achievement of modern Mordovian literature that successively had developed and enriched the aesthetic traditions of the previous decades, and at the same time which offers experimental forms, new aspects of understanding the concept of the world and a person, the means and ways of expressing the individual author’s worldview. In this connection, there arises the need for its multidimensional research, and for the solution of conceptual analytical literary problems. The main goal of the article is to follow the natural process of correlation of traditional forms of artistic manifestation and innovative individual, authoring strategies on the basis of certain publications. The object of the study was the genre choice of the writers; compositional, problematic and thematic-based, motivational and figurative features of their works that are considered from the point of view of traditionalism and innovation. The provisions of the paper can be used in the preparation of academic and methodological materials on the course “History of Mordovian Literature”.
Materials and Methods. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach that incorporates comparative and typological, problematic and thematic, structural and poetic, cultural and contextual methods. The material was based on the works of national writers published in 2016, namely: the second volume of “Selected Works” by N. Ishutkin; the meta-genre collection of the prose by E. Chetvergov “Poladkstomo” (“Without continuation”) and “Not Only Rhyme”, the work of a young poetess A. Podgornova.
Results and Discussion. For the development of national literature, the turn of the XX and XXI centuries was a complex and contradictory period, conditioned by the socio-economic manifestations of the transitional era. Nevertheless, the artistic and aesthetic level of the analyzed works makes it possible to predict the search for new topics for the authors to construct original ways, aesthetic programs and formats. The feature of the art projects of the Mordovian authors is an appeal to the problems of the national and philosophical plan, the dialogical nature of speech, the strengthening of analytical and research discourse. This activates the aesthetical and receptive preferences of the reader, their associative thinking, as well as contributes to the comprehension of complex existential, ontological and epistemological problems.
Conclusion. The authors came to the conclusion that Mordovian literature as a successively developing system that operates on the experience of previous generations and offers new perspectives, techniques, methods of artistic comprehension of life, modeling of the triad “universal – national – individual”. Modern national literature can be perceived as a developing sociocultural, artistic and aesthetic phenomenon.
Key words: literary discourse; tradition; innovation; prose; poetry; individual author’s world outlook; motive and imagination cluster.

Introduction. The article emphasizes that the most important means of reflecting the appearance of Stepan Nefedov (Erzia) in the novel of the same name by K. Abramov was a deep, thoughtful reconstruction of the national picture of the world, socio-cultural, ethical and everyday background of the time when the sculptor lived. Scholars from many fields express great interest to the problem of the author’s interpretation of the national picture of the world depicted in this work. A comprehensive analysis of this issue is of crucial importance for contemporary literature, since any artistic context requires a multidimensional study. The object of the research is a novel-trilogy about “Stepan Erzia” by K. Abramov, an original aesthetic phenomenon in the national and cultural discourse of Mordovia; the subject is the specific features of the individual and author’s view on the national picture of the world in the novel in the context of national identity and ethnic outlook. The purpose of the work is to consider the nature of the author’s interpretation of the national picture of the world in the novel “Stepan Erzia”.
Materials and Methods. The empirical data of the paper is a novel-trilogy “Stepan Erzia” by K. Abramov. Reliability and academic validity of the results are ensured both by the use of traditional methods (comparative, typological, historical, etc.) and by modern approaches of the humanitarian profile to the study of specific artistic facts and images (contextual, cultural, informational, etc.). It is also provided by the large scale of the empirical base of the research, compiled with the help of a representative selection of the source material and its subsequent correct interpretation as well as the correlation of author’s hypotheses with universally recognized ideas and conclusions in the field of history, theory and practice of literary criticism, considering specific features of historical and biographical works.
Results and Discussion. Analyzing the national originality of K. Abramov’s work, we can conclude that any ethnic group, any cultural integrity possess “national mindset”, predetermining the national outlook on the world. In accordance with the hypothesis, the authors’ understanding of the national outlook of the world as if a conscious idea of the world, mythology, philosophy, language, ethnology, folklore of a particular nation, the way of its social, economic, family life, which are formed under the influence of an epoch, environment, habitat conditions, cultural and historical development, psychological features of the national character, the influence of religious systems, etc.
Conclusion. The novel-trilogy “Stepan Erzia” shows the national worldview of K. Abramov, reflects his private, personal “I” as well as ethnic and mental nature of the nation, its picture of the world. The writer’s national consciousness and his worldview established the socio-cultural basis of the ethnic stylization of the work. The form of this phenomenon can be seen though the systematics of the novel (from the plot to the compositional component), as well as the characters which embodied the national essence.

Introduction. The article considers functional-semantic characteristics of postpositions that create different defining relations with different meanings between components. The semantics of relational words make it possible to distinguish subgroups within groups, made according to the meaning of the semantic nuances between the components, since some postpositions in combination with the previous word transmit, for example, purely spatial meanings, others of spatial and temporal, etc.
The theoretical basis of the work was the works of Finno-Ugrian researchers, including Yu. V. Anduganov. The practical significance lies in the definition of word combinations with dependent relational words. The object of the study is post-mortem management with different attributive relations. The aim of the work is to analyze post-mortem management with various relationships.
Materials and methods. The research methodology combines methods of continuous sampling and linguistic description. The material of the study was 39 postpositions in various relations with different meanings, which are used in a short story by Vas. Patrash “Nezer”.
Results of the study and their discussion. In the Mari language, there is a large class of word combinations with dependent relational components, consisting of a name and a postposition. The most common are postpositions that form post-control in the dependent part of the noun with a postpositive expressing a definitive relationship with a purely spatial or temporal meaning. It identified post-mortem management, formed with 12 postpositions; a definitive relationship with a purely spatial or temporal meaning, with a spatial meaning, a temporal meaning, etc., with 3–6 postpositions.
Conclusion. Having considered the word combinations with relational words, we can state that a short story by Vas. Patrash “Nezer” uses 39 postpositions in various ways with different meanings.
Key words: postposition; dependent part; different relationships; meaning.

Introduction. The article studies the texts describing Mari, Russian and English fortunetelling for Mr. Right (perspective husband) containing superstitious components. Fortunetelling texts are interesting for different fields of science: philology, linguistics, literature, and folklore. The author considers fortunetelling from the point of its superstitious character. The objects of the research are superstitions of three different languages which gives extra interest as it gives data for peoples of different language families. The subject of the research is a superstitious component in fortunetelling for Mr/Miss Right. The research is aimed at comparing fortunetelling texts of three languages to detect similar features and differences in world perception by different peoples.
Materials and Methods. To conduct the research the author uses continuous sampling method to select fortunetelling texts and descriptions from collections, encyclopedias, and reference books. Statistical analysis method helps to show the quantitative ratio of the phenomena reflected in fortunetelling and, consequently, in the language world picture of the people.
Results and Discussion. As a result of the research six groups were defined where all fortunetelling texts were distributed. Each group gives an answer to the question: 1. How many years are left before the marriage? 2. Where does my Mr/ Miss Right live? 3. What is the name of my future spouse? 4. What is the appearance of my future spouse? 5. What will the character of my future spouse be / What will my family life be like? 6. How to see an image of my future spouse in reality or in dreams? Also, for each group we defined lexical units, nouns which are most often found in fortunetelling texts.
Conclusion. The research helped to define semantic components which are common for all three languages and which are unique for every language. The common character of some components is explained by similar rituals coming from the ancient times and especially by the adoption of these rituals by peoples living in one and the same territory as in the example of the Mari and Russian languages.
Key words: fortune-telling on the betrothed; Superstitious component; the Mari language; the Russian language; the English language.
