Medžiagos reikšmės junginiai lietuvių liaudies dainose: semantinis ir kognityvinis aspektai

Abstract

The article presents the analysis of the study of one of the semantic types of attributive phrases - attributive phrases denoting material. The database comprises 300 attributive phrases denoting material picked out from the collection of Lithuanian folk songs Lietuviskos dainos by A. Juska and the collection of Lithuanian folk songs Ozkabaliij dainos by J. Basanavicius. The attributive phrases denoting a solid material were most common. The names of noble metals single out and highlight an item in a special way, helping to create the world of idealised beauty. The attributive phrases denoting material stand out for their most prominent symbol ruty vai- nikelis (a crown of rue), which originated in the women's daily existence. The attributes denoting the names of plants that fill the place expressed by the principal component are rather common. The attributes denoting natural objects do not only create the effect of verisimilitude but also show a close relationship between man and nature.
