Vol. 50 No. 2 (2021): Misliti, govoriti in peti folkloro / Thinking, Speaking, and Singing Folklore
Volume Editor: Marjetka Golež Kaučič
This issue of Traditiones is dedicated to a contemplation of language in folklore; the ways we think folklore or perceive it from the aspect of linguistic properties, which differ between one language code and another. The authors (Gregor Strle, Valentina Bold, Marjetka Golež Kaučič, Tjaša Jakop, Thomas McKean, Anja Moric, Delia Dattilo in Cinzia Citraro) deal with the intertwining of languages and the way they are affected by various factors – external and internal. Contributions emerge from the fundamental questions whether folklore and dialect are intrinsically connected, and what is the meaning of the language of folklore, or even multi-lingual systems in folklore texts and contexts.
