TI - Selected Problems of Describing Cultural Phenomena in Contemporary Ethnographic Archival Studies, as Exemplified by Work on the Nomenclature of Rural Settlement and Vernacular Architecture
AB - The article addresses problems connected with describing selected cultural phenomena in contemporary ethnographic archival studies. These are presented using the example of the nomenclature of rural settlement and vernacular architecture, the organisation of which was one of the tasks in the mini-grant project carried out at the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology of the Jagiellonian University. The article is composed of three parts. The first one draws attention to the need for ordering and classifying vocabulary related to rural settlement and vernacular architecture in Polish territory. The second presents a brief overview of the methodology for constructing lexical systematisations on the topic. The examples presented herein are the result of the team’s efforts, and constitute “model” solutions to problems delineated in this article. Part three presents the method of searching for information concerning the aforementioned topics in Baza Karpacka (the Carpathian Database) of the Jagiellonian University, which is a collection of data regarding unpublished ethnographic sources from the region of the Carpathians.
