Abstract

The article deals with the necessity to create systematized databases (or to make interactive indices) for samples which are known as written folklore or, using linguistic terminology, creolized (verbal-iconic) texts. In particular, these folklore works include household items with inscriptions of the late XIXth to the first half of the XXth century.

The authoress shortly describes the operating principle of the Interactive Index of Folklore Formulae developed by her on the materials of epigraphic embroidery. This index was created taking into account the fact that each item (a sample of epigraphic embroidery) consists of its structural elements. The latter are verbal and visual (iconic) folkloric formulae. Folkloric formulae can be both very short (for example, only one word) and long (for instance, an entire work can be only one folkloric formula). Folklore formulae can be both short (from one word) and long (for example, the whole work can be only one folklore formula). In the case of epigraphic embroidery, works mostly consist of one visual (iconic) and one verbal formula. However, there are also combinations of several verbal and/ or several visual formulae, which are embroidered on one towel and perceived as a single work.

Having applied the recursion principle, the authoress managed to create the Index of folkloric formulae of epigraphic embroidery, where all the elements successfully interact. It is accentuated that such indexes (systematized databases) provide an opportunity for scientific research of concrete folkloric works.

Keywords: creolized texts, household items, inscriptions, verbal formulae, visual (iconic) formulae, index.
