Etnolingvistika po slovensko

Divided as it is, philology is constantly improving through the emergence of new interdisciplinary sciences. One among them is ethnolinguistics. It has taken particularly firm roots in Slavic studies, especially with the Russian and Polish schools. While the diachronous researches of Nikita I. Tolstoy in Svetlana Tolstaya reach as far back as Slavic mythology, the Polish school, headed by Jerzy Bartmińsky, flirts with cognitive linguistics and is more interested, through its synchronous approach, in contemporary themes. The present monograph aims to evaluate the work carried out in this field to date and to raise awareness of the new interdisciplinary direction, which may link up the ethnologies and linguistics of different directions.

Diferenciacija filologije se kar naprej popravlja z nastankom novih interdisciplinarnih ved, med njimi je tudi etnolingvistika. Ta se je posebno dobro ukoreninila v slavistiki posebej z rusko in poljsko šolo. Medtem ko se prva po zaslugi Nikite N. Tolstoja in Svetlane Tolstaje z diahrono metodo usmerja v preteklost tja do mitologije, se druga pod vodstvom Jerzyja Bartmińskega spogleduje s kognitivnim jezikoslovjem in jo s sinhronim pristopom bolj privlačijo sodobne teme. Etnolingvistika po slovensko skuša v posameznih poglavjih slediti njuni metodologiji, še prej pa ozavestiti vlogo revije Wörter und Sachen (1909) do nastopa nacizma in Matije Murka pri konstituiranju novo imenovane stroke. Poleg tega ne želi prezreti posebnih okoliščin, v katerih se slovenski jezik na vseh štirih straneh neba bojuje za svoj obstoj.
