Autorka proponuje schemat opisu i analizy leksyki związanej z polem semantycznym ‘przestrzeń’. Punktem wyjścia jest założenie, że badania etnolingwistyczne powinny być skierowane na opis podmiotowego wyobrażenia przestrzeni, czyli subiektywny czynnik recepcji przestrzeni. W trakcie analizy faktów językowych badacz ma do czynienia z jednostkami poziomu wyjściowego (powierzchniowego), czyli poziomu bezpośredniej manifestacji językowej wyobrażeń przestrzennych, z którego możliwe jest przejście na poziom parametrów bazowych kształtujących model przestrzeni. Wymaga to uogólnienia podstawowych charakterystyk semantycznych jednostek poziomu wyjściowego. Koniecznym warunkiem analizy na tym etapie jest reprezentatywność bazy materiałowej. Poziom ten można uważać za pozajęzykowy, jednak przejście do niego prowadzi przez etap pośredni – najbardziej interesujący dla badań w sferze lingwistyki antropologicznej, łączący czynniki językowe i pozajęzykowe i dotyczący charakteru wypełnienia sieci parametrów. Zaproponowaną analizę autorka przeprowadza na materiale leksyki gwarowej i onomastyki rosyjskiej Północy oraz przedstawia rezultaty analizy pola semantycznego ‘przestrzeń’ w rosyjskiej toponimii ludowej.

The article proposes a schema for a description and analysis of the lexis of space. The starting point is the assumption that ethnolinguistic research should be directed towards a description of a subject-related image of space, i.e. a subjective factor in the reception of space. As language facts are being analyzed, the linguist deals with units of the initial (surface) level: the level of the direct linguistic manifestation of spatial images, from which it is possible to pass on to the level of base elements shaping the model of space. This requires a generalization of the basic semantic characteristics of the units of the initial level. The necessary condition for analysis at this stage is the representativeness of the material collected for analysis. The level can be considered as extra-linguistic, but the transfer to it leads through an intermediate level, the most interesting one for anthropological linguistics, connecting linguistic and extra-linguistic factors and describing realization of the network of parameters. The analysis is based on folk-dialectal lexis and onomastics of the Russian North as well as presenting the results of the analysis of the semantic field of 'space' in Russian folk toponymy.

The author previously published three papers in this journal concerning the world of SMS: on election SMSs (2003), on SMS as electronic graffiti (2004), and on SMS news (2005). In the present, concluding paper of the series, the folklore-type characteristics of SMS messages are investigated, using methods of folkloristics, textology, and anthropological linguistics. The theoretical point of departure is that folklore phenomena do exist irrespective of historical period or social layer. This is the basis of present-day folklore (also known as post-folklore) or, as it is also referred to in this paper: e-folklore, minimalistic folklore, computer folklore, or SMS folklore. Folklore-type characteristics of the techno-cultural world are described in terms of the paradigms of tradition vs. innovation, spoken vs. written communication (mediality), international vs. national aspects, etc. Within e-folklore, the author's special interest lies in SMS folklore. The most typical text types of SMS folklore are discussed in the following thematic order: festive messages, courtship/love, chain letters (forwarded letters), funny/tricky/misleading texts, and maxims. After a folkloristic/linguistic analysis of the corpus, the author states that SMS as a means of social communication offers human relationships, in particular, those formed by folklore messages, not only a novel medium but also a novel quality. It is not simply the case that traditional Christmas, Easter etc. postcards undergo a shift of medium and can be sent as SMS messages from now on. Three features of that novel quality are as follows: (a) extension of the human brain, of folklore memory (SMS storage, internet data bases), (b) automation of contacts: mobile phones and SMS make keeping in touch easy, (c) the psychology of contacts: SMS psychologically alleviates a number of types of inhibition; in other words, messages can be sent by SMS practically uninhibited. It is to be emphasized that although SMS folklore does exhibit anthropological, 'eternally human' characteristics in may ways, it also shows particular features of what is known as post-folklore rather than traditional folklore, due to changes in the general circumstances.

This is a brief ethnolinguistic approach to naval carpenters communities from the South of Bahia, Brazil. Lexical semantic aspects of the linguistic use are analyzed as reflexes of sociocultural practices and models. The data demonstrate that the language of the masters and naval carpenters is highly influenced by modifications they have gone through in their history. It is also assumed that the meanings labour has for those who perform it and the way the subjects are related to their environment strongly interferes in their speech. The study may also contribute to the consolidation of the Ethnolinguistcs as a useful framework to the analysis of lexical semantic phenomena in contemporary dialectological research.
