St. Tikhon’s University Review . Series III: Philology

This paper discusses some matching verbal formulae in the poems by Nonnus and Eudocia, which have previously been revealed by the author of the article. These are lexical intersections, the use of the same uncommon words as well as epic formulae and clichés. Some of them can be accounted for by the use of the same resources, Homer in the fi rst hand, as well as by the uniformity of the poetic language of the epoch. However, there are more than a dozen unique coincidences that do not occur elsewhere in ancient poetry. This allows us to talk about a certain creative interaction between the two poets. There arises a question about whose works are original and who was the borrower. From the point of view of the author of the article, it is more likely that it was Eudocia who borrowed the lexis and ready-made epic formulae from Nonnus, and not vice versa. In her texts, one can also identify some allusions to certain topics and images of Nonnus’ poetry. Since the dating of the texts of both authors is rather dubious, it cannot be made more precise by means of these coincidences. However, one can speak of the interest in Nonnus’ poetry in court circles of Constantinople.

This article analyses several Russian and Croatian linguistic terms and aims to demonstrate that linguists tend to equate characteristic features of communicative situations with features of linguistic units occurring in these situations. The terms coined to be exact designations of a certain scientifi c notion and used in the academic style are perceived by many scholars as signs devoid of any emotion and expressiveness. Clearly, the use of terms does not imply any expressiveness if they are employed for the purpose they have been created for, namely for the sake of alloting the exact name to a newly-discovered phenomenon and incorporating the given name into the existing terminological framework. However, the coinage of terms sometimes ceases to be a vital need and transforms into designating something new for the sake of it, which conceals a totally diff erent aim. This aim might be, e.g., designating oneself as different from “laymen”, and to this end terms of foreign origin are readily at hand (the tendency to alienate terminology from everyday language). This aim might also be the demonstration of the fact that a certain language can well serve as a language of science and elite culture making use of its own resources of word formation and semantics (the tendency to create new words despite the established tradition and in contrast to the opinion of another nation about this language). Thus, if creating terms transforms from a vital need into the process of designating for the sake of it, the main communicative aim of employing terms also shifts from its academic function to serving the goal of the writer/speaker to alienate him- or herself from anybody else (laymen, non-professionals, other nations etc.). And it is in this case that the use of terminology becomes expressive. Consequently, the expressiveness of the term is not determined by the properties of the term as a linguistic unit because these properties are secondary with regard to the initial intention of the speaker/writer.

This article studies the hybridised version of the Life of St. Onnophrius the Great, which includes parts of the original Life and the Legend of Nativity and Childhood of St. Onnophrius. I suggest that originally there was no separate text of the Legend, it being part of the hybridised version of the Life. Two Latin manuscripts serve as the earliest evidence of the hybridised version, but they have not been published nor studied. Only their brief descriptions made by C. Janning and J. Soons are accessible. I assume that the hybridised version of the Life appeared in the 14th century in Italy, which was a natural consequence of rising veneration of St. Onnophrius. The Latin text was most likely a basis for compiling some Italian hybridised versions in the 17th century. One of them, the version by Pietro da Propono di Caserta, has additional episodes that seem to be based on certain folklore traditions of Southern Italy. Another version, by Paulo Regio, became a source for compiling the French and Polish hybridised versions. The Polish version, in turn, became the basis for compiling at least two Church Slavonic versions, several shortened versions in Polish and at least one brief version in Russian.

In Icelandic children’s literature of the years 2000−2010, the texts that make use of the subjects of Old Norse literature are not very common, but their importance is undeniable. In modern culture of Iceland, the ancient literature has a high status of the “great cultural heritage” and is also extremely important in constructing the Icelandic national identity. Due to the fact that the Icelandic language has not changed considerably during the centuries, the ancient texts are read by Icelanders in the original language with comments, while younger generations may need some other ways to become familiar with the “classical” plots and characters. The modern Icelandic childern’s literature on Old Norse matters includes a great number of long and short prose texts but hardly any poems. There are mainly two genres: the mythological songs of Edda and the sagas of Icelanders (and there is also at least one example of using the kings’ sagas, namely the Saga of Ólafur Tryggvason). The texts are mainly addressed to children of the age of 9 to 13. Such children’s books have a double aim: a) the representation of the Old Norse universe itself, b) the representation of the recipient, who is supposed to be a child interested in culture and history of Iceland. Bringing the Old Norse subject to young readers can be achieved by various ways. It can be a simple retelling of a saga or a myth adapted to the perception of a modern reader. In such cases, many things concerning the realia and the worldview of the ancient age require explanation; the facts are usually never altered, even those which are not wholly in line with modern ethics. An ancient plot or person can be placed in the context of modern daily life, with e.g. Thor or Loki becoming schoolchildren. A sci-fi pattern can be employed, e.g. when a modern child finds his way into the Old Norse universum and the realm of gods. Alternativelly, a modern child can come in touch with some Old Norse realia in the modern world, such as archeological fi nds or ancient inscriptions. The high status of the literary heritage often brings about a distance between the text and its modern recipient, which may not always be desirable when the younger generation is concerned. The authors of modern Icelandic children’s books seek to reduce this distance. The contrast between the Old Norse and the modern culture, in particular the ethical, can be a special subject for discussion in such books because children’s literature is supposed to educate the readers not only about the past ages but fi rst and foremost about the world they live in.

This article examines V. I. Ivanov’s and I. F. Annensky’s mythopoetic strategies which they formulated within the frameworks of realistic symbolism and neohellenistic theories respectively. According to Annensky, the modern artist can modify the ancient myth and enrich it with new, personal, meanings if this is required by the artist’s tasks. However, this “invasion” into the structure of the myth is not the author’s lawlessness but a need to adapt the myth to the modern time and to its reader. Ivanov, on the contrary, insists that the myth should be a form of collective consciousness as mystical and religious aspects of the myth and its connection with the sphere of cult are particularly important to him. The adherent of realistic symbolism believes that the artist should be the mouthpiece of the people’s soul, and only then the myth created by him will receive public recognition. Therefore, for a true mythmaker there is no contradiction between individual and collective, innovation and tradition. This paper aims to demonstrate that despite the contrast between these strategies they are based on the common axiological principle of accepting the values of tradition and artist’s personality, and a new understanding of myth appears during the process of their interaction. Annensky and Ivanov both drew special attention to the fact that there was an interaction of the personal and the collective principle within myths in contemporary art, but the former poet understood this process in terms of culture, whereas the latter looked at it in terms of cult and religion. For Annensky, the author’s freedom is limited by ethical tasks, while for Ivanov the author’s freedom is limited by religious tasks. Though a certain similarity of their views can be traced, it is not the case in the context of the Silver Age. The authors of mythopoetic strategies in question were aware of the opponent’s position but, as it often happens, drew attention to diff erences. Mythopoetic strategy of the acmeist poet N. S. Gumilev developed in close interaction with the ideas of older poets, although after Ivanov’s criticism of his poem The Prodigal Son (Russ. «Блудный сын»), Gumilev moves away from him and emphasises that he is the successor of Annensky’s views on the myth. However, this is not completely tenable because Gumilev argues that the myth in the work of art is based on the image, whereas Ivanov and Annensky proceeded from its symbolic nature. Nevertheless, the acmeist mythopoetic strategy is based on the synthesis of both older poets’ ideas.

This paper presents new material for the dictionary of the present-day dialect of Staroshvedkoye (Gammalsvenskby), the only Scandinavian dialect on the territory of the former Soviet Union. The present-day state of this dialect has not been described in linguistic literature. The only source of data on Gammalsvenskby is fi eldwork with speakers of the dialect. The main objective of this work is to present material recorded in the interviews in the most complete way possible and to describe the state of the vocabulary and infl ection in the dialect. The entries include the following information: type of infl ection; translation; phrases, sentences and short texts illustrating the usage (with initials of the informants). In many cases full paradigms are given as well. They include all phonetic and morphological forms that have occurred in the interviews.
