TURKIC MOTIVES IN HUNGARIAN CULTURAL TRADITIONS IN THEMIRROR OF FOLKLORE AND FOLK SAYINGS

Аннотация

The scientific investigation of old cultural traditions is an one of important task of culturology and linguistics, namely discover the roots of culture and the national mentality. Of the four branches of anthropology, cultural anthropology, which is also referred to as social anthropology, ethnology, or ethnography, is most closely associated with folklore. Prehistory or archeology have any direct relationship to folklore, although the latter may occasionally provide information regarding past developments and population movements which is useful to the folklorist. Linguistics is somewhat more closely related, both because the style of verbal expression of a tale or proverb is influenced by vocabulary and grammatical structure, and because linguists have found folktales and myths convenient devices for collecting linguistic texts.
Folklore, however, falls squarely within the fourth field, cultural anthropology, which is concerned with the study of the customs, traditions, and institutions of living peoples. Folklore, to the anthropologist, is one of the important parts that go to make up the culture of any given people, as there is no known culture which does not include folklore. No group of people, however remote or however simple their technology, has ever been discovered which does not employ some form of folklore. Because of this, and because the same tales and proverbs may be known to both, folklore is a bridge between literate and nonliterate societies. Folklore and folk sayings are an important source for studying the oriental motifs of Hungarian cultural traditions . In this study based on mentioned aspects, were made an attempt to observe and witness the level of historical relations of European and Central Asian people through the comparative study of folkloristic, linguistic and cultural motives of Kazakh and Hungarian people.
