Abstract

The article examines the problem of studying the issues of linguo-folklore on the material of the facts of Dolgan spiritual culture: small genres of folklore and olonkho. The realities of Dolgan oral folk art allow us to explore linguistic data in line with the traditions of linguo-folklore studies. At present, in the conditions of the industrial development of the Arctic, the language and traditional culture of Dolgans are on the verge of extinction, and therefore the study of the folklore of one of the ethnic groups of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation in ethnolinguistic terms seems to be an urgent task of the humanities for the generations of Russians and the world community. Today, there are no studies devoted to the analysis of the folklore language of Dolgans, one of the indigenous peoples of the North of Russia. Therefore, in the article, for the first time, an attempt was made to analyze Dolgan folklore material as a subject of linguo-folklore studies. Purpose of the work: To study the language of Dolgan folklore as a component of the cultural component of Dolgan spiritual life in connection with ethnolinguistics as a direction of linguistics. The sources of the study were the materials of Dolgan oral folk art published in Russia and abroad. The following research methods were used in the work: descriptive, comparative, methods of continuous sampling of factual material and statistical analysis. Folklore, language and traditional culture of Dolgans living in Taimyr and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), despite transformations and innovative processes, continue to be preserved in their new forms, adapted to the conditions of a multinational and multicultural society and in this such modern areas of science of linguistics as ethnolinguistics and linguo-folkloristics play a significant role. Dolgans steadily preserve in their spiritual culture such genres of oral folk poetry as proverbs, sayings, riddles, signs; fairy tales, heroic tales – olonkho. Taking into account the insufficiently explored topic in almost all genres of oral folk art, further research in this most interesting area of scientific knowledge seems to be very relevant and promising
