Nowadays, ethnology can hardly assert that folklore traditions are only a phenomenon that lives independently in villages as a part of the everyday life of the local inhabitants. The role of folklore, even of that documented largely in different collections, has essentially changed alongside the transformation of the society, the rapprochement between village and town ways of life and the beginning expressions of mass culture. Some expressions have remained a continual part of everyday culture as a residue, some have been transmitted into new environments and contexts, some have been reconstructed, and others significantly stylized or deduced. They were and are a source of inspirations and modern expressions that in many respects take over the functions similar to the original ones. How should we understand folklore traditions in the 21st century and analyse them? The study based on field research dealing with two distinctive expressions (the male solo dance “verbuňk” and male folklore choirs in the Slovácko region) tries to answer this question. The contemporary Czech ethnology classifies both expressions as so-called ethno-cultural traditions. The chosen field probes capture the present situation in one of the folkloristically most distinct ethnographic areas in the Czech Republic, documenting the wealth and diversity of the folklore tradition that just pretend to be continual in many cases – at least it looks like this on the surface.

In the children´s world, the communication runs in various forms different from those typical for the communication of the adults. Humorous verses, by means of which mainly the children of the same age communicate within the environment distant from their family background, represent special forms of contacts. Despite the long-term tradition in researching the children´s folklore, Czech ethnology remains a debtor in this field, not only in the field of basic research, but also especially in the field of interdisciplinary study. As to the formal and aesthetical standpoint, the rhythm and rhyme are primary features of children´s output, namely at the expense of all other elements. However, the motifs of individual rhymed expresses, the humour, the ratio of perceiving the vulgarity of certain words, the trust in the truth of expressions acquired at transmission among the children of the same age and especially the motivation to create the verses- all the above is significantly influenced by the age of a child. Many questions in this field can be answered by the developmental psychology and the psychoanalysis.

The study sets out the first scientifically treated Czech edition of songs – Moravské písně milostné [Moravian Love Songs] prepared by the composer Leoš Janáček and the philologist Pavel Váša, and published in parts between 1930 and 1937. The authors assess the collection´s importance, explain the reasons why its publishing lasted for more than twenty years (and Janáček did not live to see it), set out an unusual structure of the edition as well as possible causes for the insufficient appreciation of the work. They state that within the Czech context, the publication is a unique event in publishing for more reasons: 1. it can justly be described as the first scientifically treated edition of one sort of songs in the Czech folkloristic research; 2. based on a peculiar conception, mainly by Leoš Janáček, the material is divided into groups of songs based on the relationship between the musical and the literary component as well as the psychic and the emotional effect; 3. it is the first scientific edition supplemented with a lot of registers, although that part of the work has not overcome initial difficulties yet and it has introduced many inaccuracies into the collection; as a collection of love songs from Moravia and Silesia, it represents an important stage of development on the way to a model edition of scientific type.
