Abstract:

This paper presents data on names and folklore of birds collected among native speakers of Emberá in the moist tropical forests of Darién, Panamá. The naming data was collected by systematic elicitation of names from pictorial representations of birds. It is organized here to facilitate analysis of various aspects of folk taxonomy in relation to scientific taxonomy. Folklore about birds collected in natural contexts is also included to indicate the role of birds and their names in symbolic processes that exceed the limits of literal reference.

Abstract:

Birds are present in everyday life, in forests, parks, cities, in fields and on playgrounds, by rivers and at entrances to stores, etc. Their ubiquity in human everyday life all through history leads to “birds” developing metaphorical meanings and producing powerful stereotypical images, which also motivate wider conceptual meanings. This article focuses on the lexeme ptica “bird” in Slovenian short folklore forms, its stereotypical representation and its metaphorical meanings. The ethnolinguistic approach will provide insight into the characteristics ascribed to birds as well as personificati

Abstract:

The image of a bird is of great importance in the traditional worldview of the Bashkirs. The most revered Bashkirs in their mythological and ritual traditions are the crow, the magpie, the eagle, the cuckoo, the dove, the crane, the duck, and the swan. In the cult of birds among the Bashkirs, one can find various stages in the development of social consciousness. The earliest period includes mythological and ritual plots reflecting the survivals of totemic representations. Their remnants appear in the identification of man and bird, in endowing birds with human qualities. In the tribal nomencl

Abstract:

Using a structural-semiotic approach together with a comparative historical one, and based on ethnographic, lexical, and folklore sources, this study focuses on the raven and the crow as characters in Buryat mythology. Buryat terms for these birds are of Mongolian origin. Folk beliefs concerning the raven are more elaborate than those concerning the crow. The image of the raven is ambiguous, whereas the crow is an unambiguously negative character. The analysis of vocabulary and of the minor genres of folklore shows that Buryats paid attention to the various zoological features of these birds:

The dodo had disappeared earlier due to predation by pigs, but a hiatus in settlement broke observational continuity, yet folklore preserved the name and transferred it to the red hen.

Abstract:

The article explores the creative work of Vasyl Holoborodko, particularly his book of poems "An Apple of Good News". This topic has not been extensively researched in Ukrainian literary studies, although Holoborodko's work has been studied in other aspects, such as folklore, in Yulia Shutenko's dissertation. This article specifically focuses on the analysis of non-classical verse forms in the author's poetry. According to one accepted classification, non-classical verse is divided into dactylic, taktovyk's, and accentual verse, depending on the change in the number of intrastressed syllable in

Птицы выступают символами, метафорами, сравнениями для характеристики человека и его деятельности. Орнитоконцепты в фольклоре, в фразеологии, паремиологии занимают одну из ключевых мест.

Since the 1930s there have been over a thousand recorded sightings of monsters in Loch Ness, Scotland.

There is a developed system of cult ideas about birds in the religious and mythological views of the Bashkirs. One of the birds revered by the Bashkirs is the crow. The most ancient roots of the holiday and rituals associated with this bird originate in totemic representations of the distant ancestors of the Bashkirs. The ancient historical roots of the worship of crows are evidenced, in particular, by the Bashkir folk holiday Kargatuy (Crows wedding), which existed in the past and is being revived today (in some areas of the Republic of Bashkortostan called Karga butkahy (Crows Porridge)).

Japanese folktales (mukashi banashi) have many characters that are animals or non-living things acting as if they are humans, such as racoons (tanuki) that can talk, birds that can dance, or even persimmons and cow’s feces that can talk. One of the most famous animals in Japanese folklore that behave like humans is the kitsune. Kitsune are also depicted as characters that are wicked or evil, and at other times, they are depicted as being good. The purpose of this research is to find out the anthropomorphism of kitsune characters and whether they are depicted as good or evil in mukashi banashi.

Drawing on Forrest Clingerman’s concept of “emplacement,” I explicate the interplay between conflicting environmental interpretations, recognizing that places can be described
