Мотивы и образы в сокотрийских историях о «диких людях»
Фольклор: структура, типология, семиотика. 2026. Т. 9. № 3. С. 96–113.
The article examines folkloric motifs and imagery found in Soqotri narratives about “wild men.” The study draws on both published Soqotri folkloric texts and materials collected during fieldwork conducted in 2021 and 2025, which enabled the author to record a “wild man” legend (published previously elsewhere) and discuss known texts of the Soqotri temtilo genre with our informants to provide lexical and philological commentary. Comparative analysis suggests that Soqotri “wild men” narratives share a number of motifs with European traditions, particularly in the depiction of characteristic traits associated with the “wild” or “feral” man. At the same time, the legend follows a narrative scheme typical of “feral man” stories attested across the world. In addition, certain parallels can be observed with the figure of Enkidu in the Epic of Gilgamesh. The Soqotri material thus exhibits both universal and culturally specific features, contributing to a more precise understanding of these narratives within a broader comparative folkloric framework.

The connection of the poetic form with the content is investigated. The free verse, developed by W. Whitman in the second half of the 19th century, took root in the USSR with difficulty. In modern Russian poetry, the free verse, while preserving the aura of Western poetic culture, often combines gender and political meanings, broadcasting ...

Unlike many other Turkic languages, Balkar normally demonstrates obligatory subject-verb
number agreement in finite clauses with 3rd person subjects: when a subject is plural-marked,
so is the verb. However, there are cases when the subject is not overtly plural-marked, but the
verb can be. We argue for an account where such facts are not reduced to any form ...

common reliance on identifying “the earliest examples” can be challenged by textual complexity and subjective
disagreements. Focusing on the emergence of the FAST meaning of kuai (快), this study proposes criteria for

The article examines Old Russian anthroponyms with the suffix -ec-, originally conveying the meaning ‘less than X’. A diachronic corpus study of
11th–17th-century texts reveals that while this suffix lacked inherent pejorative
connotations in Old Russian sources, contextual (adherent) pejoration is clearly
observable. For pre-15th-century chronicles, two primary usage patterns are
identified—1) characters with explicit negative evaluation, and 2) ...
