A táncszók feldolgozásának lehetőségeiről

Possible approaches to dance rhymes and exclamations Exclamations and dance rhymes (´táncszók´) uttered during dancing mainly in village balls and in folk dance houses have not been widely researched in linguistics and ethnography. This paper studies the definition, the taxonomy and the research history of these phenomena, and outlines several possibilities of linguistic examination based on cca. 1500 items collected by GYULA PÁLFY (1950–2012). The main possibilities are: dialectological aspects; pragmatic, functional and cognitive approach (particularly pragmatic function); and relations with similar folklore genres.
