The paper addresses the interaction of linguistic and extralinguistic factors in describing the linguistic worldview. Necessity of studying Russian folk dialects in order to identify the main features of the ethnic culture and social specificity of the Russian people living in the territory of Mordovia is substantiated. The object of the research are numerous dialect verbs and phraseological units belonging to the group denoting professional work activities. On the basis of semantic analysis it is shown that linguistic units representing work and labour in the linguistic consciousness of a dialect speaker convey traditional folk perception of reality and the specificity of the national character of the Russian people. The research has led us to the conclusion that dialect vocabulary and phraseology are one of the means of acquiring knowledge of life in various aspects by the dialect speaker; it allows reconstruction of the relevant part of the national linguistic worldview.

In many analysis of contemporary military conflicts, their ethnicity is emphasized. Ethnic dissimilarities are indicated as the main element which causes diversity leading to even very dramatic events. For some people dissimilarity is a possibility of marginalization, for others a possibility of arousing some values which nowadays are very often treated as secondary. Ethnicity has a changeable character resulting from the process of its settling. It cannot be seen according to the rights characteristic for former processes. To what extend does the category change in the contemporary world? Isn’t it used only in order to hide a lack of communication and reluctance to compromises? Isn’t ethnicity manipulated by polititians, very o! en temporarily understanding interest of people communities, who because of very low reasons oppose symbolism of ethnicity to arising processes of modernization? Or maybe ethnicity is another “magic charm” which we use so easily sitting in a “quiet” of a political stability. The process which can be easily placed in universalism and hardly in rationalism.

Even though narrating is a universal phenomenon, there is no one universal narration model, much less a universal life story model. This is also verified by the life stories from various ethnic groups that have long lived among Latvians in the Latvian cultural space. Life stories play an important role in the research of ethnic history and social memory, because both Roma and Livonian cultures and their transmission between generations have traditionally been based on the oral tradition. Any attempt to reconstruct the history of these two ethnic groups is therefore encumbered as well as open to various interpretations. Life stories can likewise be interpreted in different ways. This article examines the creation of life stories both as a social event in a specific time and space and as one of the forms of cultural experience. The article presents excerpts from Livonian and Roma life stories, thereby revealing not only what is unique about each narrator, but also providing an insight into a certain group’s experience of reality that is expressed through narratives. The type of expression and use of language, story composition, intertextuality and presentation all contain information about the culture and society in which the narrator lives. Audio recordings from the National Oral History Archives at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the University of Latvia have been used for this study. Over the 20 years since its founding, the archives have amassed a voluminous Livonian oral history collection. The interviews took place in the Latvian language, in the local tāmnieku dialect spoken by the Livonians who were born and have grown up along the northern Kurzeme coast. The Roma interviews were also recorded in Kurzeme, some in the 1990s, but most just this past summer, within the project “Ethnic and Narrative Diversity in the Construction of Life Stories in Latvia”, financed by the Latvian Council of Science. Life stories are unique performances, but they are, at the same time, also created within a complicated, established social situation and are influenced by several aspects: the interview context, cooperation between the narrator and the interviewee as two separate personalities, the narrator’s abilities and individual creativity. Cultural and historical conditions have influenced both Livonian and Roma life stories, thereby revealing influences from their usual environment, traditional way of life and folklore, as well as from Latvian culture and the era in which they live.

The belief of ancestor worship is one of the ancient traditions of the Vietnamese which is present in almost every activity of ethnic culture. Through time, ancestor worship has still a lasting vitality in the Vietnamese mind and is respected by people although the current market economy has had an impact on this belief. Thus, we find the core values of the ancestor worship tradition in the family of Vietnam today that are still conserved by each person and each family.

Wiara w kult przodków to jedna ze starożytnych tradycji wietnamskich, wciąż obecna w niemal w każdym działaniu kultury etnicznej. Mimo upływu czasu kult przodków wciąż żyje w wietnamskich umysłach i jest przez ludzi respektowany, chociaż obecna gospodarka rynkowa miała na niego wpływ. Odnajdujemy zatem w wietnamskich rodach podstawowe wartości tradycji czczenia przodków, które są wciąż chronione przez każdą osobę i każdą rodzinę.

Folk perceptions of disease through the prism of Ukrainian and Polish phraseologyThe article analyzes the phraseological units of the Ukrainian and Polish languages motivated by folk perceptions of the etiology of diseases; describes ethnocultural features of the formation of the analyzed units; and reveals that in Ukrainian and Polish phraseology the idea of personification and demonic origin of diseases is highlighted by coding in the phraseological units: 1) the outward appearance of mythical creatures similar to the appearance of an afflicted person; 2) specific actions of the personified disease that lead to the deterioration of health or even death; 3) folk ways of treating illness and so on. Ludowe wyobrażenia o chorobach przez pryzmat frazeologii języka ukraińskiego i polskiegoW artykule przeanalizowano jednostki frazeologiczne języka ukraińskiego i polskiego motywowane ludowymi wyobrażeniami o etiologii chorób; opisano etnokulturową specyfikę tworzenia badanych jednostek; oraz ustalono, że we frazeologii języka ukraińskiego i polskiego wyobrażenia o personifikacjach i demonicznym pochodzeniu chorób odzwierciedlone są za sprawą kodowania w jednostkach frazeologicznych: 1) osobliwości wyglądu zewnętrznego istoty mitycznej podobnego do wyglądu zewnętrznego chorego człowieka; 2) konkretnych działań uosobionej choroby, które prowadzą do pogorszenia samopoczucia albo śmierci; 3)ludowych sposobów leczenia choroby itd.

The rapid processes of globalization affect a lot of spheres of social life. They are assessed as ambivalent; the challenges of the contemporary epoch are especially painfully accepted by national cultures. The European Union policy does not attempt to level the variety of cultural expressions of its member countries. These processes occur spontaneously due to the increase in citizens’ mobility. This paper is a discourse on what could be the present strategy of reinforcing the fundaments of the state. Has nationality, which is being instilled in public education as ethnic culture, lost its meaning for that purpose? The conclusions state that the reinforcement of ethnic culture is a goal of national importance and it has to be efficiently implemented in the institutions of education and culture. This is also important in the schools of national minorities in pursuance of closer cooperation and integrity of the society. The paper also contains insights about a slightly different view on integration in region’s cultural space, held by ethnic minorities in Lithuania. A representative study (involving 1030 respondents), conducted in 2016, revealed that the youth is still interested in the history of Lithuanian nation / ethnic culture. People of other nationalities, e.g. Polish, Russian, etc., living in Lithuania are also interested in history of Lithuanian nation / ethnic culture.

Nasilające się procesy globalizacyjne dotyczą większości dziedzin życia społecznego. Mają one charakter ambiwalentny; wyzwania współczesnego świata szczególnie boleśnie dotykają kultur narodowych. Polityka realizowana przez Unię Europejską nie ma na celu niwelowania różnorodności form ekspresji kulturowej. Procesy te odbywają się samoistnie w związku ze wzrastającą mobilnością mieszkańców. Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest dyskurs o tym, jaka strategia mogłaby być obecnie zastosowana dla umacniania podstaw państwowości litewskiej. Czy poczucie tożsamości narodowej, pojmowane w edukacji społecznej jako kultura etniczna, już zatraciło swoje znaczenie? A w ogóle jaka przyszłość czeka państwa narodowe? Czy dojdzie do ich stopienia się w zglobalizowanej przestrzeni światowej, czy też pozostaną one kolorowymi wyspami kulturowymi o aspekcie ekonomicznym i prawnym w integrowanej wspólnocie państw europejskich? W związku z tym dylematem rozpatrywane są również cele stawiane przed oświatą na Litwie. We wnioskach się stwierdza, że wspieranie i upowszechnianie kultury etnicznej jest zadaniem wagi państwowej, które powinno być efektywnie realizowane przez instytucje oświatowe i kulturowe. Powyższe stwierdzenie jest również aktualne dla szkół mniejszości narodowych w dążeniu do nawiązania ściślejszej współpracy i konsolidacji społeczeństwa. W artykule prezentowany jest też nieco inny pogląd na integrację w przestrzeni kultury lokalnej zamieszkałych na Litwie mniejszości narodowych. Przeprowadzone w 2016 roku badania reprezentatywne (około 1030 respondentów) ujawniły, że młodzież mimo wszystko interesuje się (w pewnym stopniu) historią Litwy, kulturą etniczną. Historią narodu litewskiego i państwa ciekawią się także przedstawiciele mniejszości narodowych zamieszkujących nasz kraj, a więc Polacy, Rosjanie i in.
