Lietuvių tautosakos rinkėjų Jano Karlovičiaus ir Mečislovo Davainio-Silvestraičio bendradarbiavimas: metodologijos raida, etnolingvistikos apraiškos
Collaboration of two Lithuanian folklore collectors Jan Karłowicz and Mečislovas Davainis-Silvestraitis: Development of methodology and signs of ethnolinguistics

Summary/Abstract: My paper deals with the new research methodology that was emerging in late nineteenth and early twentieth century in the field of Lithuanian folklore. I pay particular attention to Jan Karłowicz and Mečislovas Davainis-Silvestraitis’ cooperation and to Karłowicz’s methodological revision of contemporary folklore theory and its practical application. I based my research on Karłowicz’s insights and suggestions, published in his folklore collections of 1871 and 1888, and on Davainis-Silvestraitis’ folklore manuscripts. The texts uncover the talent of these Lithuanian folklore collectors – they prepared volumes for publication in Polish but managed to preserve original features of Lithuanian lexicon.
