In the presented article, the author considers a rarely discussed subject of traditional song lyrics perceived as culture transmitters. Even though they are very universal and comprehensive sources in terms of cultural transmission, academics use them in scientific discourse incommensurately less frequently than other textual forms or art works from the epoch. The author analyzes traditional folk songs as texts which unfold before the reader. Their crucial value and broad possibility to understand different and interfusing realms of human activity associated with Polish and East Slavic culture are presented.

Musical Accompaniment

Dolalak dance is highly dependent on the power of the song lyrics, so it can be called a lyrical dance. The dancers will not be able to do perfect dance moventents only by musical accompaniment; the displacement and combination of dance movements are characterized by lyrics that accompany the songs. Thus, song lyrics have a very dominant role in the arrangement of the dance movements. Dolalak dance has approximately 64 types of movements. A one-night staging, as an illustration, usually begins with 13 types of movements, followed by a trance dance, and ends with 7 types of movements as the closing. Song lyrics in the Dolalak dance are mostly influenced by the nuances of Islamic teachings. This is proven by the presence of a lot of words and/ or terms in the song lyrics which are very close to the. Arabic words in Islamic teachings. More interestingly, as a form of folk songs used in the performance of traditional Javanese arts, the Arabic words are widely adapted to the speech or pronunciation of the local language, especially the Javanese one. As a result, the origin and meaning of certain words or terms in the lyrics are difficult to trace. However, it is understandable since sometimes words in the song lyrics are preferred to adjust particular sounds.

Song lyrics are rich in meaning. In recent years, the lyrical content of popular songs has been used as an index of shifting norms, affect, and values at the cultural level. One remarkable, recently-uncovered trend is that successful pop songs have increasingly simple lyrics. Why? We test the idea that increasing lyrical simplicity is linked to a widening array of novel song choices. To test this Cultural Compression Hypothesis (CCH), we examined six decades of popular music (N = 14,661 songs). The number of novel song choices predicted greater lyrical simplicity of successful songs. This relationship was robust, holding when controlling for critical ecological and demographic factors and also when using a variety of approaches to account for the potentially confounding influence of temporal autocorrelation. The present data provide the first time series evidence that real-world cultural transmission may depend on the amount of novel choices in the information landscape.

Do So

Song lyrics are rich in meaning. In recent years, the lyrical content of popular songs has been used as an index of culture’s shifting norms, affect, and values. One particular, newly uncovered, trend is that lyrics of popular songs have become increasingly simple over time. Why might this be? Here, we test the idea that increasing lyrical simplicity is accompanied by a widening array of novel song choices. We do so by using six decades (1958–2016) of popular music in the United States (N = 14,661 songs), controlling for multiple well-studied ecological and cultural factors plausibly linked to shifts in lyrical simplicity (e.g., resource availability, pathogen prevalence, rising individualism). In years when more novel song choices were produced, the average lyrical simplicity of the songs entering U.S. billboard charts was greater. This cross-temporal relationship was robust when controlling for a range of cultural and ecological factors and employing multiverse analyses to control for potentially confounding influence of temporal autocorrelation. Finally, simpler songs entering the charts were more successful, reaching higher chart positions, especially in years when more novel songs were produced. The present results suggest that cultural transmission depends on the amount of novel choices in the information landscape.

The article collects information on Norwid’s works found in recent years. The most important discoveries include song lyrics [“Blade kwiaty na odłogu...”], two Norwid’s letters to Julia Pusłowska and an original death certificate of the poet. As to the art works, unknown graphics (6 pieces) and one watercolor of rare beauty (Pythia) were revealed at the auctions. Most of these works enriched the collection of the Museion Norwid Foundation. In the university library in Illinois, a copy of Divine Comedy, given by the poet to Numa Łepkowski, was found. Another important item for Norwidology is a family photo album belonging to Maria de Bonneval née Gerlicz acquired for the collection of the Bloch Family Foundation, which included photos of over 70 people whom Norwid knew. The article also informs about fakes and works whose authorship cannot be credibly attributed to Norwid.

The article is devoted to the artistic legacy of Bashkir sculptor Ruslan Nigmatullin, one of the leading masters of contemporary visual arts in the republic. The relatedness of artistic expressive means of music with those in the plastic arts, their expressive elements become more apparent in the comparison of music and abstract art in the process of generation of the artistic image. The authors examine the artist’s oeuvres in the context of the particularity of sculpture as a peculiar art which requires from the viewer the knowledge of the laws of artistic form-generation and an understanding of their language, based on such elements as mass and space. The article presents an analysis of the artist’s works made of stone, metal or wood, while the artist himself sees their source as being connected with music. During the course of his entire artistic path Ruslan Nigmatullin has created sculptures in different directions: realism, decorative plastic and abstract art. The master’s art works, according to the authors of the article, are all unified by an inner figurative idea: when looking at the sculptor’s works it is possible to observe their inherent qualities: contemplation, abstraction and pure sound — natural, ethnic and sometimes purely songrelated, enhancing their relatedness to music. The artist considers one of the sources of his inspiration to be the historical Asian melodies, which share common roots with the ethnic music of the Bashkirs, Kazakhs and Tuvans. The authors provide an analogy between the folk songs of these peoples and their instrumental tunes, the latter being marked with a concise, measured rhythmic structure, and the artist’s works, his ability to create new forms, frequently just as abstract as the melodies with which it is associated.

This paper has started from the fact that contextual analysis of song lyrics underlines that the meaning in lyrics is never completely clear, and its functional value and peculiarities are emphasized. This fact is based on insight into the relevant scientific and theoretical sources. The aim of this research was to establish the peculiarities and differences between sevdalinka and turbo-folk genres through a comparative analysis of sevdalinka lyrics and songs written in the spirit of sevdalinka, and turbo-folk songs lyrics. The research started from the assumption that the features of sevdalinka and turbo-folk music as musical genres are very different. The research methods used were the method of theoretical analysis and the method of content analysis, and the dataset consisted of 8 representative sevdalinka songs and songs based on the model of sevdalinka, and 8 turbo-folk songs, which were analyzed for conclusions. The results of the research showed how sevdalinka and turbo-folk songs promote different values. It was concluded that the positive values promoted by sevdalinka songs should be used to a greater extent for educational purposes.

The article consists of three excerpts from the book Czech Folk Songs from the 60s to 80s of the 20th century by Josef Prokeš. The publication maps out the phenomenon of singer-songwriting in Czechoslovakia. The fi rst two extracts – „Folk Song lyrics in the context of Literary Studies” and „The Folk Song Genre in the context of Music Studies” – deal with methodological issues regarding the ways of analysing folk song lyrics in a wider cultural context, and the possibility of situating folk music in the fi eld of Czech Music Studies. The third excerpt, entitled „The Status of the Czech Folk Song in national culture”, discusses the sources of folk music in Czech culture, the inspirations of major singer-songwriters, the development of folk music in the analysed period as well as its signifi cance during the totalitarian era in Czechoslovakia, and fi nally poses questions about its future in the context of national culture.

The article presents the results of a study devoted to such an aspect of terminological competence as eponyms. The paper provides a general description of eponyms in the anatomical terminology of English and Uzbek languages. Eponymic terms are an integral part of the medical terminology of different languages ​​that form the scientific discourse. Eponyms as part of the language of science contribute to a deeper understanding of human activity and his culture. The sublanguage of medicine is the most important source of knowledge about those people who created this science, and the tendency in modern linguistics to study the human factor allows us to consider the terms-eponyms in the light of the cognitive approach.
