Religious terminology in russian dialect of old believers in Poland and Bulgaria (records from the years 1969–1973)

Summary/Abstract: Records of religious terminology in Bulgaria were conducted by the author, records in Poland were done by people from the community of Old Believers as well. The material was collected in three centres of Old Believers in Poland – in Augustów, Suwałki and Mrągowo counties (the Masurian district). The basis for gathering the material was a special questionnaire formulated by the author which contained pecu­liarities of religion and culture of Old Believers. The questionnaire consists of 220 questions concerning the following topics: sacred buildings, belfry, monastery, cemetary, icons, religious books, Old Believer- rosary, thurible, candles, a so called podrucznik (i.e. a small cushion used for kneeling and putting hands during bowing), christening, marriage, funeral, ritual food, lent, holidays, names of confessions, clergy, ritual clothes and other names (clergymen and other). The sound of names provided by informants was preserved. The records were done using simplified phonetic transcription. A small dictionary attached to the questionnaire explains less known terms and phrases.
