Raziskava večkulturne dinamike v slovanskem Polesju na presečišču etnologije in dialektologije

The paper explores the history, current state, and significance of studying the Polesian ethnocultural region, with emphasis on Ukrainian Polesia. It outlines the region’s archaic specificity and its diffuse ethnocultural field. The research relies on dialectological and typological methods, with an ethnolinguistic approach to semantic and structural unity in folklore. It has demonstrated the cultural, linguistic, ethnic, and other forms of elusiveness that complicate the representation of Polesia as a unified entity, thereby framing it instead as a multicultural and heterogeneous region.
