Pripovedno izročilo Slovencev v Porabju

In this book are published folktales and legends from Porabje / Rába-vidék which were recorded in 1970 by Milko Matičetov on magnetic tapes. The material has been for many decades stored in the archive of the Institute of Slovenian Ethnology ZRC SAZU in Ljubljana. It was only with the help of the experts from Porabje, well-versed in these dialects, that it was possible to publish the recordings.Presented are 238 narrative units, transcribed from tapes in a simplified dialectal transcript. All of the texts are also published in the standard Slovenian language. Two narratives are transcribed in the phonetic dialectological transcription. Added is CD with the recordings of 13 folktales in both varieties of Rába dialect (from Apátistvánfalva and Felsoszölnök district). The introductory section includes studies addressing the development of the narrative culture of Slovenes in Porabje, their language and brief history, as well as a presentation of the storytellers who had narrated these folktales and legends to Milko Matičetov. The folktales have been included in the international database, in accordance with the existing scientific international typology, and are therefore available for further comparative research. This book preserves narrative tradition of Slovenes in Rába-vidék, and is of particular importance to young people, who often no longer speak in the vernacular language.

V knjigi so zbrane porabske pravljice in povedke, ki jih je leta 1970 posnel Milko Matičetov na magnetofonske trakove. Gradivo je več desetletij neobjavljeno ležalo v arhivu Inštituta za slovensko narodopisje ZRC SAZU v Ljubljani. Šele s pomočjo porabskih strokovnjakov, ki narečne govore dobro poznajo in obvladajo, jih je bilo mogoče pripraviti za natis. Predstavljenih je 238 pripovednih enot, prepisanih v poenostavljeno narečno transkripcijo in prestavljenih v knjižno slovenščino. Vsa besedila so objavljena tudi v knjižnem jeziku, dve pripovedi pa sta kot primer prepisani v fonetični dialektološki transkripciji. Dodana je zgoščenka s tonskimi posnetki trinajstih pravljic in povedk v obeh različicah porabskega narečja (števanovskem in gornjeseniškem). V uvodnem delu so spremne študije, v katerih je predstavljen razvoj pripovedne kulture porabskih Slovencev, njihov jezik ter pripovedovalci, ki so Milku Matičetovemu pripovedovali pravljice in povedke. Opozorjeno je na razlike med posameznimi krajevnimi govori, na koncu pa je dodan še slovarček porabskega besedja in povezava na mednarodne pravljičnime tipe.
