No marco das características lexicais, analisaram as palavras turcas que estavam desatualizadas para a moderna língua tártara, bem como os empréstimos que ocorriam nos dialetos. O vocabulário dos dialetos de Kryashen basicamente corresponde ao vocabulário comum Tartar, no entanto, existem características específicas que distinguem estes dialetos de Tatar língua literária e seus dialetos. A presença dessas características é condicionada pelo desenvolvimento relativamente isolado dos Kryashens de outros grupos etnográficos do povo tártaro. Um lugar bastante grande nos dialetos é ocupado por palavras que ocorrem na antiga língua turca e em várias línguas e finuras turcas modernas, por exemplo: arıw / aru - 'saint; bom clean ', ardaqlı -' caro ', küz -' queima de carvão, fogo ', pıçu / peçü -' corte ', etc. O trabalho também examina os empréstimos, a maioria dos quais são palavras russas, e os empréstimos árabe-persa, chuvache e udmurto são usados menos. Exemplos são dados para cada grupo e as características de sua aplicação são determinadas. Palavras-chave: Tártaros batizados, Kryashens, dialetos, características lexicais, palavras antigas de Türk, empréstimos. Introduction Baptized Tatars (Kryashens) are an appearance, the development of this group as an ethnoconfessional group of Tatars from the independent community took a long time with Volga and Ural regions, a very peculiar and the participation of various ethnic groups, scientifically insufficiently studied one. At primarily Turkic and Finno-Ugrian ones (Nurieva present, there is no common opinion on the et al, 2016). This point of view is also confirmed status of Kryashens: official science considers by the linguistic features of baptized Tatars. them mainly as the part of the Tatar people, at the same time an many Kryashens consider Methods themselves to be a separate people. Most of the baptized Tatars live in the Republic The following methods were used in the study: of Tatarstan, small groups live in neighboring the descriptive method that was used to describe republics and regions: in Bashkortostan, and establish the nature of the lexical features Udmurtia, Chelyabinsk, Samara and Kirov that distinguish the dialects of baptized Tatars; regions. Thus, separate groups of Kryashens are the method of linguistic description presented in at a fairly large distance from each other, they are this paper by such a procedure as a semantic relatively isolated. They differ in everyday life, analysis based on dictionary interpretations of customs and some linguistic features from Tatar lexical unit meanings; the method of direct Muslims, and also differ among themselves. observation on the basis of living speech of Kryashens profess the Orthodox Christianity. dialect representatives, as well as on the material For several centuries, had been in relative of textual studies of the predecessors; the religious isolation among Muslim Tatars. The method of induction in the study of selected Kryashens preserved some ancient customs linguistic features of these dialects, etc. associated with paganism. The names and the content of pagan rituals have common features Results and Discussion with the Chuvash, Mari and Mordovian ones, however, most of these names are of ancient This problem is covered in the works of many Turkic origin, and the presence of such rites and scientists from different branches of knowledge, words denoting them among neighboring since the study of the lexical features of dialects peoples is probably conditioned by very ancient is at the intersection of such scientific areas as ethnic-cultural and economic ties. The Kryashens areal linguistics, lexicology, dialectology and the have preserved ancient ritual, wedding and history of language. The language features of memorial songs, as well as the archaic forms of baptized Tatar dialects, spiritual and religious jewelry and clothing more firmly. culture, the traditions of Kryashens were According to the traditional and most reasonable reflected in the works by Bayazitova and point of view on the problem of Kryashen Nuriyeva, etc (Bayazitova, 1997; Nurieva et al, Encuentre este artículo en http://www.udla.edu.co/revistas/index.php/amazonia -investiga ISSN 2322- 6307 Vol. 7 Núm. 15 /Julio-Agosto 2018 187 2016). The problems of the relationship between the Mishar dialect in the meanings 'respected' language and history, language and culture are and 'to respect'. The words ardak and ardaklau in considered in the works by Sadykova, Galimova, the Uighur, Kirghiz and Karakalpak languages Salakhova, Kalganova and others (Sadykova et al, also express the values of "respect, honor, 2015; Galimova et al, 2016; Salakhova and cherish, treat with care" (Bayazitova, 1997). Sibgaeva, 2017; Kalganova, 2017) The vocabulary of the Kryashen dialects basically In all the dialects of baptized Tatars, the ancient coincides with the common Tatar vocabulary, Türkic word pıçu / peçü is used to express the however there are specific features that meaning of 'to cut, to saw', except for the word distinguish these dialects from the Tatar literary kisü (Tatar, 2009).

  • An Etymological and Lexicological Note on the Words for Some Ancient Eurasian Grain Legume Crops in Turkic Languages
    Turkish Journal of Field Crops, 2011, 16(2): 179-182 AN ETYMOLOGICAL AND LEXICOLOGICAL NOTE ON THE WORDS FOR SOME ANCIENT EURASIAN GRAIN LEGUME CROPS IN TURKIC LANGUAGES Aleksandar MIKIĆ1* Vesna PERIĆ2 1Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, Serbia 2Maize Research Institute Zemun Polje, Serbia *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] Received: 06.07.2011 ABSTRACT On their way to both Europe and Caucasus, during the 7th and 6th millennia BC, the most ancient Old World grain legume crops, such as pea (Pisum sativum L.), lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) and faba bean (Vicia faba L.), passed through the region of modern Turkey but also spread towards the original Altaic, and then, Turkic homeland. The assumption that at least some of these crops were known to the ancestors of the modern Turkic nations is confirmed by attesting the Proto-Altaic *bŭkrV, denoting pea and its descendant the Proto-Turkic *burčak, being responsible for all the words denoting pea in the majority of the modern Turkic languages and the borrowed Hungarian borsó. The Proto-Altaic root *zịăbsa, denoting lentil, gave the Proto-Turkic, *jasi-muk, with the same meaning and with numerous, morphologically well-preserved descendants in modern Turkic languages. Key words: Etymology, grain legumes, lexicology, Turkic languages. INTRODUCTION uncertain origin (Georg et al. 1999) and still disputed by some as being true Altaic languages. Majority of the traditional Eurasian grain legume crops, such as pea (Pisum sativum L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris The supporters of the existence of the Altaic language Medik.) originated in the Near Eastern centre of diversity, family assumed that its five branches had a common ancestor while faba bean (Vicia faba L.) originated in the central referred to as Proto-Altaic, although the written records on its Asian centre of diversity (Zeven and Zhukovsky 1975).

  • Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov
    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

  • Liminal Periods in the Udmurt Ritual Year
    AADO LINTROP Estonian Folklore Archives, Tartu Liminal Periods in the Udmurt Ritual Year In our cultural space we usually imagine our lifetime as a journey. Wayfarer or pilgrim is common metaphor for us as travellers on the road of life. We have several stages or parts on our way and many mental milestones and turns for marking and separating them. Actually we can say that linear time of human life is also structured by the cyclic rhythms of year and day. These contain for us periods of different significance. Holy periods There are interim periods during a person’s lifetime as well as during the calendar year, which are characterised by a state of indefiniteness or being without borders due to lack of everyday boundaries. The times are open to both good and evil and are close to the supernatural. Mental boundaries and landmarks are part of our system of orientation. Without them, space would be homogeneous; there would be no difference between familiar and unfamiliar, good and evil, sacred and profane places. It is the same with time. The expressions good times, hard times, crazy times, fast times, holiday time, everyday time, childhood, youth, manhood etc. contain obvious judgements and defining of limits. Transitions from one time, one period of life, one status to another are kind of crossroads or fork in the road in time. As we well know from the mythologies of different peoples, crossroads are liminal places in space where homeless or restless spirits gather and miscellaneous magic will be done (Puhvel 1989). If liminality causes ordinary orientation to be unable to function, then usual behaviour will also turn out to be ineffective or unsuitable.

  • Russia Country Report: Multicultural Experience in Education
    RUSSIA COUNTRY REPORT: MULTICULTURAL EXPERIENCE IN EDUCATION Leila Salekhova, Ksenia Grigorieva Kazan Federal University (RUSSIAN FEDERATION) Abstract The Russian Federation (RF) is a large country with the total area of 17,075,400 sq km. The RF has the world’s ninth-largest population of 146,600,000 people. According to the 2010 census, ethnic Russian people constitute up to 81% of the total population. In total, over 185 different ethnic groups live within the RF borders. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism are Russia’s traditional religions. Russia is a multinational and multicultural state. The large number of different ethnic groups represents the result of a complicated history of migrations, wars and revolutions. The ethnic diversity of Russia has significantly influenced the nature of its development and has had a strong influence on the state education policy. The article gives a detailed analysis of the key factors determining educational opportunities for different RF ethnic groups. A complicated ethnic composition of Russia’s population and its multi-confessional nature cause the educational system to fulfill educational, ethno-cultural and consolidating functions by enriching the educational content with ethnic peculiarities and at the same time providing students with an opportunity to study both in native (non-Russian) and non-native (Russian) languages. The paper provides clear and thorough description of Russian educational system emphasizing positive features like high literacy and educational rates especially in technical areas that are due to the results of the educational system functioning nowadays. Teacher education is provided in different types of educational institutions allowing their graduates to start working as teachers immediately after graduating.

  • ARTICLE FUNCTIONAL-SEMANTICMUTUAL SUBSTITUTION of CASES in the TURKIC-SPEAKING LITERARY MONUMENTS of the GOLDEN HORDE PERIOD Gulnara R
    ISSN: 0976-3104 ISSUE: Multidisciplinary Social Science & Management ARTICLE FUNCTIONAL-SEMANTICMUTUAL SUBSTITUTION OF CASES IN THE TURKIC-SPEAKING LITERARY MONUMENTS OF THE GOLDEN HORDE PERIOD Gulnara R. Shakirova*, Gulnaz F. Gaynullina, Liliya M. Giniyatullina, Muslima M. Shakurova, Department of General Management, Kazan Federal University, Leo Tolstoy Institute of Philology and Intercultural Communication, Kazan, RUSSIA ABSTRACT The XIIIth – XIVth centuries were played the most important role of the development of the history and culture of Turkic nations and in the formation of the medieval Tatar ethnos. This period in the history of the Turkic literary language is marked, on the one hand, the beginning of kypchakizatsiya language monuments; on the other hand, Tatar literary language of a later period (XV – XVIII centuries) in its traditions goes directly to the literary language of the Golden Horde period that is to the written literary language of XIII – XIV centuries and Turkic-speaking monuments of this period are of direct relevance to the history of the Tatar language. This article attempts to analyze the functional-semantic mutual substitution cases in the Turkiс-speaking literary monuments of the Golden Horde period. And the Turkic-speaking monuments of this period are directly related to the history of the Tatar language. Turkological science has achieved significant success in the linguistic study of Turkish written monuments, which has the great importance both for tracing the evolution of the cultural and historical process of individual nations, and for recreating the history of Turkic languages. Despite this, written monuments of the history of the Tartar literary language of the earlier period (XIII – XIV centuries) have not been studied sufficiently.
