„ACH LANKU, LANKU WIELE TY KOSZTUJESZ, WIELE TY LUDZI CZANSTO FATYGUJESZ” – ON THE IMAGE OF THE MOST VALUABE CROPS FEATURED IN FOLK SONGS OF WARMIA AND MASURIA
Journal Title: Слов’янський збірник - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 20
Abstract
This article is an attempt to analyze flax motives, which occurred in the collection of Warmian and Masurian folk songs published by Władysław Gębik and Marian Sobieski, and in texts collected by Oskar Kolberg on the territories of East Prussia. The purpose of this study is to define the function of the botanic vocabulary mentioned in folkloristic texts and to compare poetic representation of flax motif with its role in everyday life and culture of Warmia and Masuria’s inhabitants. The results are as follows: the folk output and botanic themes are a valuable source of information about identity of rural population from Warmia and Masuria. Utilization of flax motif in folksongs is characteristic of its strong resemblance to empiric reality, in which the plant plays a great role in everyday life and in sacral sphere as well.
