Volume 12 of the Common Slavic Linguistic Atlas: Personal Traits of a Person
This latest volume in the lexical-word-formation series of the Common Slavic Linguistic Atlas focuses on the linguistic geography of traditional Slavic spiritual culture as it relates to human characteristics. It presents maps and dialect materials collected during field expeditions across the entire Slavic territory.
The lexicon in this volume is historically and culturally significant, primarily of Proto-Slavic origin. It covers names for a person as a physical being—such as those based on appearance, hereditary traits, or psycho-physiological inclinations and habits shaped by upbringing. It also includes terms for a person as a social being, particularly relating to attitudes toward work and property. Additionally, the volume explores names for a person as a spiritual being, reflecting mental abilities, speech characteristics, and behaviors toward oneself, others, and moral norms.
Beyond personal descriptors, the volume includes maps for abstract concepts and attributes, such as “big” (by size or volume), “stupidity,” “well” (e.g., works well), and the term lъzь.
