Analysis of the Aesthetic and Ethical Content of Folk Speech Texts at a Lesson-investigation
This article is devoted to the methods of acquainting students with the language of traditional culture (folklore) in school education. Such knowledge is expected to promote students’ awareness of the ethical and aesthetic values inherent in folk culture texts. A search for cultural information can be performed through a linguocultural study. This article presents such a research study entitled “Zachem ranshe zazyvali vesnu” (Why did they use to invite spring) aimed at revealing the specific features of folk texts that were used by Russian people to make spring to come. The semantics of textual artefacts is analysed in terms of their ethical and aesthetic significance.
