In Search of Lemko Values. Culturemes of the Names of Values Based on Selected Folklore Texts of the Lemkos
The paper attempts to identify present-day cultural concepts that are referred to as culturemes in the recent ethnolinguistic literature and, naming the most important values, that co-define the contemporary Lemko identity. The culturemes identified by the author (God, church, work, land, forests, cottage, poverty, longing, injustice) are strongly value-laden, designating the elements of the surrounding world which were, have been, and still are important for the Lemko community in Poland. They constitute values for Lemkos, usually positive, but sometimes also negative, including those strongly linked to post-war historical traumas.
