Taboo words among the peoples of Eastern Europe and Northern Asia
14.99 €
The classic work of the outstanding Russian ethnographer D. K. Zelenin has not been republished since 1929. It is devoted to the study and understanding of the tradition of using euphemistic words designed to replace those that were forbidden from the point of view of magical (mythological) thinking, since they could affect the results of hunting or the daily life of people. It covers a large ethnographic and linguistic material of the Slavic, Baltic and other peoples of Eastern Europe and Northern Asia, and provides comparisons with other regions.
