Abstract

This paper is devoted to the study and analysis of the phenomenon of taboo in the traditional cultures of peoples living in the Arctic zone of Russia. The unique lexical material of the language of the Russian old-timers of the Arctic, reflecting the peculiarities of their worldview, is introduced into the scholarly discourse. The forbidden vocabulary and taboos on actions presented in the material under consideration cover, first of all, such language systems as the semantic fields "Hunting and fishing", "Disease", "Death" in a regular way. Due to the continuity of generations, in traditional cultures, many ancient prohibitions (maybe some in a distorted form) and ideas about them have survived to this day. The area of taboo reflects the features of the traditional life and management of peoples living in the Far North, serving as material for reconstructing fragments of the linguistic worldview.
