“…In the English material the main verbal semantic fields with a notable number of synonyms are those of moving, seeing, hearing, and speaking. These are precisely the same three areas that Labi (2006) deals with when discussing verbal synonymy: speaking, movement and perceiving. This need not be particularly surprising given that speaking, moving and perceiving are the main things that characters do in narratives.…”

“…Peegel (2004) has compiled a dictionary of nominal synonyms in Estonian Kalevala-metric verse in which he, presumably following Snorri, groups them under the categories of 'lihtsõnad' (simple words), 'liitsõnad' (compound words) and 'tegijanimed' (agentive nouns). Labi (2006) has discussed the verbal semantics with some attention to synonymy. In addition, Peegel's interesting essays (1997) often touch on the question of synonyms and synonymy.…”

Synonymy and rank in alliterative poetry

This paper addresses the high sonic demands of alliterative metres, and the consequences of these demands for sense: the semantic stretching of common words and the deployment of uncommon (archaic, 'poetic') words. The notion of alliterative rank is discussed as an indicator of such consequences (examples are given from English and Estonian verse) and the range of onsets found for synonyms of key notions in verse traditions is remarked upon. 0.0. The metres that develop within a particular language will typically involve phonological features key to that language. 0.1. Languages with initial syllable stress will typically develop metres that feature sound-patterning involving initial syllables, especially the onsets of such syllables. Examples include the alliterative metres found in the Finnic, Germanic and Mongolian languages. 0.2. Such metres and the verse in them may form relevant comparanda regardless of any lack of genetic connection, of differences in the extent and nature of their attestation, of differences in genres recorded in these metres, etc. Good comparanda possess both similarity and difference. 0.3. Concepts developed within the research tradition of a particular alliterative verse tradition may well prove to be of value in the research of other alliterative verse traditions.

"Said a Word, Uttered Thus": Structures and Functions of Parallelism in Arhippa Perttunen's Poems

Saarinen¹

2017

Oral Tradition

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Parallelism is one of the most outstanding features of the Finnic (or Balto-Finnic) tradition of oral poetry that is found throughout areas of present-day Estonia, Finland, and adjacent parts of Russia. Performers of this poetry speak several different but closely related languages: Finnish, Karelian, Ingrian, Votic, Estonian, and Seto. Nevertheless, the poetic idiom, or register, is quite uniform, sharing the basic characteristics of meter, non-stanzaic structure, alliteration, and parallelism, with some anticipated regional variation. 1 It has various names in different languages. In Finland and Karelia, the most common designation is Kalevala-metric or kalevalaic poetry 2 or runolaulu ("runo song"). 3 In Estonia it is usually called regilaul or regivärss. 4 The poetic form has a strikingly broad range of uses for diverse genres, such as narrative poems, lyric and ritual songs, recited incantations, proverbs, and riddles. Many genres were connected to different sorts of social situations or discourse functions and a variety of modes of performance that also varied regionally. Across diverse communities and language areas where this poetry was documented as a living tradition, the poetic form exhibits great dynamism in its continuities and historical endurance in contrast to its range of uses in different practices. When considering variation in the poetic form, the most significant historical factor has been changes in language and dialect. In both western regions of Finland and to the south near the Gulf of Finland, words became somewhat shorter, but further south in Estonia the shortening of words was greater and began earlier. The metrical form historically was based on a trochaic tetrameter with flexibility in the first foot, which means that a basic line had eight syllables, although an extra syllable or two could be added in the first two positions.
