The analysis of the archive materials, oral data recorded in 2009 and 2012, allowed identifying the places of origin of Siberian migrants: villages of the Yelnikovsky, Krasnoslobodsky, Kovylkinsky, and Zubovo-Polyansky districts of the Republic of Mordovia. Also, the ethnic-local composition of the studied area was determined. Siberia and the Volga region variations of the folklore texts were compared on the thematic and (partially) musical-stylistic levels by studying modern field materials and published autochthonous sources. The materials were organized by genre: carols, round-dance songs, lyrical songs, author songs, fairy-tale prose with insert songs. A comparative analysis of materials from Siberia and the Volga region has shown the similarity between autochthonous and migratory traditions in various genres. For example, the autochthonous Zubovo-Polyansky District and migratory Siberian traditions are united by their genre of carols, as well as late folklore traditions; the original Kovylkinsky District tradition and the migratory tradition have similar round-dance songs. The polylocality of the migratory Siberian community is reflected in their song tradition, with round-dance and lyrical songs playing an important role. These songs are also popular in the Republic of Mordovia in various Moksha Mordvin groups. The Siberian variations of some Moksha lyrics compared to the autochthonous variations have been found to be represented by specific elements of plot composition with strong exposition, indicating a decline in migratory traditions and processes typical for all oral song cultures.","PeriodicalId":53939,"journal":{"name":"Sibirskii Filologicheskii Zhurnal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67577207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, only two types of length, etymological and secondary, have been considered. Positional duration, manifested in the prolongation of the wide vowels of an open syllable before a syllable with a narrow vowel, has not been fully covered in theoretical research. The significant lengthening of open vowels up to the duration of the contracted unit evolved into a pattern that was consistently and systematically implemented in the Turkic languages. This paper summarizes for the first time the auditory and instrumental data available in the literature on the South Siberian Turkic languages. It reveals the commonality and specifics of the pattern considered in various languages. A comparative analysis allowed identifying two groups of languages. In Kumandy, Shor, Telengit, and Tuvan, the first syllable of bi- and polysyllabic words can have all the wide vowels lengthened both before the non-labialized narrow ы, и, and before the labialized y, ӱ. Khakass, Chalkan, Tuba, Altai-kizhi, and Baraba-Tatar have this pattern only before ы, и. In Khakass and Baraba-Tatar, positional vowel lengthening of the non-first syllable of polysyllabic words is possible only in preposition to guttural г and ғ. In other languages, any voiced or sonorous consonant does not prevent the positional lengthening. The pattern of positional lengthening of vowels that is typologically common to the Kipchak Turkic languages in the phonetic system indicates the historical interactions with the languages of the Kipchak group.","PeriodicalId":53939,"journal":{"name":"Sibirskii Filologicheskii Zhurnal","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67577637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One example is the story “Failures” (later “Failed life”) by Dmitry Grigorovich, which combines the techniques and ideas of the stories of Nikolai Gogol (“Portrait”) and Fyodor Dostoevsky (“Poor people,” “Weak heart,” “White nights”). In Russian literary criticism, this story is regarded as secondary and imitative, studied mainly in the context of other stories about artists projected onto the everyday life of the drawing classes of the Academy of Arts. This paper shows that while being the key view, such an interpretation cannot be the only one. When discovering a new talent, his ascent and death, one can see the scenario realized by many contemporaries of Grigorovich, notably by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Later, Grigorovich revised the story by changing idioms and narration style to give it a new title: “Failed life.” The revision pragmatics is obvious: “Failures” are more local, marking an episode or a chain of a person’s life (or a set of situations in the fiction plot). “Failed Life” echoes a global catastrophe, with its traces clearly seen in the text of “Literary memoirs” and the writer’s later epistolary. This paper has been prepared for the 200th anniversary of Grigorovich, whose literary heritage still requires commentary and research reflection. The appendix provides a letter from Dmitry Grigorovich addressed to Andrew Kraevsky, the publisher of “Otechestvennye zapiski”.","PeriodicalId":53939,"journal":{"name":"Sibirskii Filologicheskii Zhurnal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67576309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author presents an analysis of the following phonetic features attested in the language of the monument: rounding harmony and its violations, vowel height assimilation, prebreaking of *i, development of contracted long vowels, elision of non-initial syllable vowels, and vowel epenthesis in non-initial syllables. The language system of the chronicle may be identified as belonging to a transitional stage between Preclassical and early Classical periods in the development of Written Mongol and is considered to be a vivid example of a mixture of linguistic archaisms and innovations typical for the documents of the transitional stage. It contains both archaic (occasional lack of rounding harmony) and clearly innovative features (development of contracted long vowels, elision of non-initial syllable vowels). Also, some vocalic developments may be considered as early Common Mongolic innovations dating back from at least the early Post-Proto-Mongolic if not the Proto-Mongolic period (development of rounding harmony, vowel height assimilation, prebreaking of *i, vowel epenthesis in non-initial syllables). The sound system of the chronicle is quite similar to the language of Sino-Mongolian glossaries of the turn of the 16th-17th centuries and Written Mongol documents of the Preclassical and early Classical periods.","PeriodicalId":53939,"journal":{"name":"Sibirskii Filologicheskii Zhurnal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67576000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, the authors discuss how the speech of Internet communication and traditional dialogue influences the addressee by means of the statements comprising the verbs concerned. An analysis was made of such statements as: (1) advertising slogans (imperative mood); (2) active Internet links-headlines (past perfect tense with the 3rd person causer); (3) prospective rhetorical strategy (the simple future form with the 1st person causer and 2nd person causer); (4) a retrospective speech strategy (the present tense with 2nd person causer and the 1st person causer). Being used in special illocutionary acts, the statements in question feature different aspects of action and state depending on communicative conditions. The study has revealed a distinct perfect meaning in the actual present tense of causative psych verbs. Expressing non-descriptive (non-ascertaining) meaning, the statements are similar to speech acts. Emotive component of the psych verbs under study combined with inherent agentive one of speech acts has a manipulative potential on addressee that is realized in: (1) the urge to buy through the promise of a pleasant emotion; (2) the urge to click links through the implicit promise of emotion; (3) the speaker’s mental control of the addressee’s emotions; (4) the declarative-emotional influence on the addressee to induce him/her to change his/her behavior. Causative psych verbs function as a powerful argument allowing the speaker to appeal to the emotional sphere of addressee.","PeriodicalId":53939,"journal":{"name":"Sibirskii Filologicheskii Zhurnal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67576329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The principal method of analysis is comparative-typological, and the object of study is the multi-ethnic epic. The variants of multi-part works from the world culture, the epic tradition of the Turkic-speaking ethnic groups, and the collections of Nart legends of the North Caucasian peoples are given as characteristic examples. The author outlines the prerequisites for the formation of a multi-level epic narrative and justifies epic features in folklore texts. A significant vector of research is identifying the structural specific features of the heroic epic and determining the intertextual relations to illustrate the mechanisms of cycle formation in pre-literary samples. The analysis of the poetics of the North Caucasian Nart epic confirms that the texts forming its integrity thematically go back to the original source, continuing the previously outlined narrative line. The study concludes the ethnolinguistic versions of the “Nartiada” to be the result of improvised adaptations through the oral form of text transfer. Such complexly organized cyclical structures guaranteed the preservation of the oral-poetic heritage of the ethnos, synthesizing a colossal amount of information. This integrity encompasses a flexible scheme of epic unfolding, allowing the source material to be altered by additional micro-inclusions. The richness of the Karachays’ and Balkars’ heroic epic testifies to the evolution of the epic thinking of the people, outlining the prospects for the development of cycle formation in the literary genres.","PeriodicalId":53939,"journal":{"name":"Sibirskii Filologicheskii Zhurnal","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67576339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nomadic way of life of the Aryats contributed to a simple, uncomplicated, and practical character of everyday life and a diet consisting of meat and dairy products. A distinctive feature of the oral prose of the Buryats of Inner Mongolia is the presence of narratives with mythological ideas about characters of heavenly origin, controlling everyday life, and possible scenarios of human destiny. The verbal prose of the Chinese Buryats is syncretistic in its cult-religious preferences: Buddhist religious foundations prevail, and at the same time, shamanistic views and elements of ancient mythological consciousness are preserved. Verbal and figurative formulas regulate the norms of human behavior: what can or cannot be done. Oral didactic stories are the most expressive in this regard. The presence and use of a rather significant layer of Russian words mastered and preserved by the first generation of migrants and used today by modern representatives of the Buryat enclave serve as the most striking ethnomarker distinguishing them from other ethnic communities in the multinational sociocultural space of China. The analysis of the oral folk prose material revealed the specificity of the ethnocultural landscape based on the peculiarities of economic and household activities and sociocultural traditions that conditioned the mental attitudes of the ethnos.","PeriodicalId":53939,"journal":{"name":"Sibirskii Filologicheskii Zhurnal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67576518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis was made of a cycle of letters by famous Russian writer V. M. Shukshin to M. S. Yakutina. It is proved that different ink colors create an entire spectrum of semantic connections and intertextual echoes, allowing the writer to express his thoughts, feelings, impressions of dreams, and memories inspired by communication with a friend of youth in a more comprehensive way. The unity of the addressee and thematic commonalities and regular references from later letters to earlier ones allows uniting them into a cycle of three letters. For each letter, Shukshin uses a different ink color: black, green, and red, with each color implying certain semantics: black - the restoration of communication; green - hope and youth; red - repentance and death. The analysis results provide a conclusion that when publishing significant epistolary texts for the first time, it is necessary to attach facsimile and indicate the color of ink and/or other graphic features in the commentary, for example, way of writing: ballpoint pen, pencil, typed/printer; the presence of drawings, the type of paper: writing or drawing paper.

The examples of the reduction of the verb under study during the conjugation of adverbial participial analytic constructions in various temporal fields are presented. In Chalkan, not only can analytic constructions be contracted into single words, but also contractions occur within verb forms. As a result, personal or tense markers are completely or partially lost. Sometimes, even parts of lexical stems are lost within various phonetic transformations, with various homographs being formed. When analytic constructions are contracted with the auxiliary verb al-, the latter can be fully or partially preserved depending on the tenses. For example, when verbs in past tense with -gan and in future tense with -yr in positive forms are conjugated, only the anlaut broad vowel а- of the auxiliary verb al- is preserved. In past tense forms with -dy, -tyr and present tense forms with -yp tyt, two variations with full preservation of the auxiliary verb al- and with the anlaut broad vowel а- can be used. When contracted analytic constructions in negative forms are conjugated, the auxiliary verb al- is fully reconstructed in all tenses. In all tenses, similar phonetic processes take place: elimination of the adverbial participle markers after stems with consonants and preservation of the adverbial participle markers after stems with vowels. However, the auslaut voiceless consonant -p- is replaced by the voiced consonant -v- in the intervocalic position.","PeriodicalId":53939,"journal":{"name":"Sibirskii Filologicheskii Zhurnal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67577252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research material is the long-term correspondence of Adrianova-Peretz and Gudziy stored at the Institute of Russian Literature. The letters mainly concern scholarly issues, situation in the Pushkin House, and staff of the Department of Old Russian Literature. Eremin worked in the Department since 1934. In her letters written in the 1930s, Varvara Pavlovna talks about Eremin’s participation in collective works, expresses concern about his personal life and writes about his connections with the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Since 1947, when Adrianova-Peretz took over the management of the Department, her relationship with Eremin became quite complicated. While recognizing Eremin’s talent and efficiency, Varvara Pavlovna expressed her preference in organizing the work in the Department not to V. N. Peretz’s pupils (I. P. Eremin and M. O. Skripil) but to her own, D. S. Likhachev, who became the head of the Department in 1954 to work with his own students.
