Summary: The article examines the potential of Ivan Matveyevich Durov’s Dictionary of the Living Pomor Lan-
guage in Its Everyday and Ethnographic Usage as a source for analyzing chrononyms – names for time intervals
linked to specific dates, events, or seasonal periods within the Pomor calendar of economic activities and holidays.
The novelty of the research is determined by the need to further investigate specific layers of vocabulary and phrase-
ology in Northern Russian dialects, particularly regarding their etymology and cultural motivations. This is the first-
of-its-kind cultural-semantic analysis on chrononyms found in the saying Segodnyа u niкh Gruzinskoy Bogoroditsy,
a zavtra – Frolu golodnomu (Today is the Georgian Mother of God for them, and tomorrow comes Hungry Frol) and
on the figurative Pomor designation Fedosya Ryskunya (Fedosya the Roamer). Determining the semantic motivation
behind these expressions reveals their connection to the allRussian agricultural calendar, and in the case of the veneration of the Georgian Icon of the Mother of God – to the history of Orthodoxy in the Russian North. Both examples vividly illustrate how the specific features of the region’s calendar and festive culture are reflected in its language and folklore. |
