Lětopis Abstract 2021 2: Žanna Nekraševič-Karotkaja: The Custom of Vogelhochzeit (Bird Wedding) and Songs with Bird Motifs in
the Folklore of North-western and Eastern Slavonic Nations: Pragmatic and Functional Aspects.
Sorbian, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian songs with bird motifs are examined in this article, including that of Vogelhochzeit.
Traces of different genre combinations, modifications and revisions were discovered during an analysis of the structural content of these carols,
which are linked to their functionality. So, for example, birds are celebrated in popular Polish carols, influenced above all by the story of
Bethlehem. These carols present particularly typical social and psychological kinds of behavior in the form of bird allegories. In this connection,
the way this manifested itself moved in recent, and most recent, times from the level of traditional folklore into the sphere of ethno-pedagogy.
