Bibliographic description in the original language

KHABUTDİNOVA M., ASHRAPOVA A., AKSOY G. THE THEME OF EARTHQUAKES IN TATAR FOLKLORE AND LITERATURE // TURCOLOGY. 2025. 121 (Mart 2025), s. 41-64.

Annotation

The article studies the image of earthquakes in Tatar folklore and literature. The study revealed a range of Tatar vocabulary related to the earthquake theme. We prove that the small amount of language material under consideration сan be explained by the fact that the Republic of Tatarstan is located in a weakly seismic zone, so its inhabitants both in ancient times and now could rarely witness this natural disaster. The study revealed the predominance of the sworn expression «zhir upsyn» (may I fall through the earth) in the vocabulary, which is closely related to sinkholes in karst, which have the character of craters, caves, subsidences, saucers, basins, karst ditches and lakes in our republic. This oath has penetrated from oral speech into the works of oral folk art and literature. Descriptions of earthquakes are found in Tatar folk tales and toponymic legends. In them, this natural element is described as a terrible disaster, the finger of fate, God's providence, God observations of the people‟s behavior in a critical situation. These artistic texts are united by the didactic message of the authors, who consider the earthquake as a terrible warning to a person mired in sin and pride. In addition to realistically and reliably portrayed images of destruction, they contain observations of the behavior of people in critical situations. This is the moral potential of these works
