DEADLINES SMALL PARTS IR JURGIS ELISONAS AND HIS MEMORIAL BOOK The Institute of Ecology has published a book about a famous teacher, a public man, an active naturalist Jurgio The (1889-1946) Ellison Memoir Book, a kind of memorial to of a man XX a. who was very active in ir the first half. Among the jo abundant busy ar broader narrower activity ir bars now, more than half a century later po jų driver's death, clearly visible plateau, not badly forwarded terminology į bar. O ir otherwise the language and in general the spiritual life of jo the people was not indifferent. Those things J. Allison will be interested throughout her adulthood. Therefore, there is no shortage of “Jurgis Elison” books that don’t let the boxes down. Be to, time flies fast, ne už mountain ir The 110th anniversary of the hero of that book. How ir ne one young XX man who went to school at the beginning J. of the century, Elison early realized that he was Lithuanian, he was not ir ashamed of his origins decided to work Lithuania. Former J. Ellison's pupil at Panevėžys Gymnasium in the Teachers' ir Seminary D. Urbas atmintis M. Miškinis's story, as probably in, at the end of the holidays, 1913 at Rokiškis railway station a po group of students waiting for Daugavpils train walked Student of Petrapili University J. Elison, asking in Lithuanian: "Guys, are there any Lithuanians among you?", urged those who responded o to educate themselves, read Lithuanian newspapers, invited them to write, promised to į attend, help to kick-start the activity by doing so?. A man of activity, highly valued ir the learned society and accustomed his pupils to cherish the remains of ir past generations, himself all the time working for others to ir work for the progress of the country, such was ir — J. Allison. He was a very creative man. He did not narrow, but rather expanded the bar of his activity and scientific field. He, as a trained zoologist, was concernne ed only with that,' George Ellison. 1889-1946 /Sud. A. Yakovlev. Editors: J. Virbickas (dir.) and others.

He can be considered the founder of the zoology as a scientific ar discipline. So it's not nė surprising that he was iš tų rare philologists ne whose works were published in scientific publications of folklore and linguistics ir („Tautoje žodyje“, „Mūsų tautosakoje“*, „Tautosakos darbuose“ and ir ‘Archives Philologicum'' ). The students were asked į to write their own poems, which were ir then presented to them by the ir teacher. In fact, for him alone, ne many of the different things that — the students had read were given to the educational institutions. The scientific library now holds a large own ir J. Ellison's archives. Po World War I returned į After J. returning to Lithuania, iš Ellison almost į immediately took the path of a natural teacher, especially devoting himself to zoology. The special thing here is that ne he only taught his pupils himself, but translated and wrote ir zoology textbooks in.), collected, arranged (1920, 1925, 1938 ir 1940 the terms of this field, ir published a large number of articles on various animals of the region, finally 1932 m. went out sometimes The Lithuanian Animal Encyclopedia is called a three-part book jo "Mammals of our region". 1919-1920 m. in the press („Lietuvos mokykloje“, „Draugijoje“) appeared J.

It is the first Lithuanian printed dictionary of terms in this field, by the way, favorably K. Bogus gave him ir the opportunity to speak more extensively in an unfinished review about another essential issue of terminology (thermal sources, pronunciation)". Soon the world's į light were published articles “Reptile, or reptile (Reptilia), names of representatives of the class in Lithuania" ("Kosmos", 1920/ 21. Sąs. 1. P. 95-96), ‘Frogs (Amphibia) class In Lithuania ir jų Names’ (Ibid. P. 88-94), “What does gonys mean?” "Education Work". 1921. No. 1/2.

Kaunas University of Applied Sciences, 2005. du Faculty of Humanities Linguistics Journal „Archivum Philologicum" (see section 4.4). (see footnote 6). Finally one of ir the last articles to appear alive — „Attempt of a fishing dictionary in Lithuanian language“ („Gimtasis kraštas“. 1943. P. 372—384) — is dedicated to terminology. Both according to R. Tolvaišaitė ‘J. Ellison "See. Būga K. Selected Writings. V., 1961. T. 3. P. 783-786. 134 bibliography of works”* were jo published some works close in terminology to it. But various things of ar naming J. Ellison was considered to at least ar hint at one other work. ir ne For example, in the article “Are representatives of the whale (Cetacea) group found in Lithuanian waters?” "Nature". 1936. No. 3. P. 189-190), opposing the tendency of some zoologists to call animals by vulgar Latin (allegedly international) names, he wondered: “In the end, the beautiful ir Lithuanian names of whale seals, which have become ir established in life, are being replaced by real woodpeckers: cetacean pinnapeds”*. ir Be Therefore, all natural jo science works (books, articles, a few published materials) are an important source of the period of formation of the current Lithuanian zoological terminology. The book of remembrance is reviewed ir The Library of the Academy of Sciences now holds J. The Ellison Archive (R. In the article "Jurgis Elison's life and work" ir by ir Tolvaišaitė, et al. ). There are large terminology ir works in that archive. In particular: iš jy mentioned, apparently, Zinynas „Lietuvos fauna žinios, bibliografija — žodynas“ (several ir typewritten volumes, having over pages, as well as about 6000 leaflets). 100000 Impressive figures! A large ir work prepared for the press is mentioned (or works?) "Parasites of our country" (ar/ir? ,,Parasites)! !, which should be an important source of terminology, as well as a handwritten fishing dictionary? ir work about Fish of Lithuanian waters? ?. These are the things of terminology are presented, some at least somewhat underlined in the book "Jurgis Elisonas. ir 1889-1946“. Frequently the author of this book article shows J. "Lithuanian terminology". He is sometimes referred to as the creator of zoological terms. (p. 3), laying the foundations of Lithuanian zoology terminology (p. 5), though, as can be understood from iš the book inserted K. Article by Gaivenis ‘J. Eli8 See. George Ellison. 1889-1946. P. 97-109. ? Ibid., p. P. 61. 1" Ibid. P. 14. "The same. P 14, 68. 2 Ibid. P. 32, 75. 2 Ibid. P 32, 63. The term "synthetic" is used to refer to a relatively small number of compounds. It seems that the greatest source of terms used by J. Elison was the living language of ordinary people, as well as Lithuanian writings and dictionaries. The abundance of material in its sources ir showing already The "Dictionary of Zoological Systematics Terms" made "a fairly pleasant impression" K. Bugs. Dad J. Elison’s contribution į to Lithuanian terminology is primarily demonstrated by the creation of some tens of ne hundreds of terms, but also by the ar creation of the entire zoological terminology system on the basis of human language. These thoughts are, for the time being, merely assumptiiš ons derived from what is known so far. There is no doubt that J. Ellison's terminology work is certainly worth a thorough study. Then perhaps it would be clearer to see him as the creator of a system of terms, o ne the maker of individual words, the merits. Finally, then it would be more bold to say that, by creating a system of terms, he together with other trained zoologists laid the foundations of the current Lithuanian zoological su terminology. The book in question is not a work of terminology. (o ne Ne there ji ir planned. However, due to the above mentioned things, it is be undoubtedly important for the ir history of Lithuanian terminologne y, of zoology ir alone and of Lithuanian science in general. In the book great experts in their fields discussed J. Ellison's Zoological Works (St. Biziulevičiaus ir P. Zajančkauskas’ article “Jurgis Elisonas — pedagogus zoologist”, J. Prūsaitė’s —“J. Ellison's publications on Lithuanian mammal fauna", J. Virbickas' "J. Ellison Publications on Fish Fisheries", Stanevičius ir V. ‘J. Ellison ir Ornithology, St. Louis. Biziulevičiaus "Parasitology Knowledge Spreader"), based on his own J. Ellison's approach į to the zoological legacy (A. Jakimavičiaus ‘J. Ellison and the History of Zoology in Lithuania”), his unforgotten works of folklore (G. Radvilo ‘Jurgis "About the — Museum" (PDF). "Museum of Art and Design". ir (L. Kaziukonis "J. "Ellison's contributions to Panevėžys local history and museums®". Inserted a small fibre of former J. Allison's students iš Panevėžys gymnasiums and teacher seminary (philologist D. Urbas, geographer V. Gudelis, biologist A. Pečiukėno, N. Zvierevaitės, mediko S. Pavilonio), Agricultural Academy (agronomist A. Stancevičiaus), as well as the “Būga K. Min. veik. P. 784. 136 kės neighbor A. Šilinis memories (by the V. way, Gudelis and S. Pavilonis ir himself worked productively in the field of terminology. So the jų teacher’s example, the sown ir seed, has yielded ir excellent fruit in this respect). After adding the above R. Tolvaišaitės and K. Refresh articles, more important J. Alison's life ir activity dates sheet (it still has a lot of gaps, it is not good that often only the start time of a work is indicated, etc.), Tolvaišaitės compiled ir R. ‘J. Bibliography of Ellison's works". (there are inaccurate bibliographical data, there are works not included as mentioned ir here, in this book, for example, several J. Virbickas p. 64 mentioned articles about fishing, G. Radvila p. 88 referred work „Burtai, Panevėžio apskrityje, J. Elisono surinkti“ iš 1925 m. The Word ir of God Book III; but most unfortunately, this bibliograį phy did not fall J. Ellison's manuscripts) and A. The bibliographic index “Literature about J. Alison' (here somehow not mentioned at all nereti J. Ellison's mentions of ir jo the activities of linguists, especially XX a. terminology of language ir history, works; in general the index reflects ši more detailed at least the naturalists' own advertisements), will be almost the entire content of the book in question. ir Almost, because here remain unmentioned only the preface, English books, ne o J. "Elison's Life Works ir Summary Name ir Index". It was a pleasure to read this book in terms of content. It is a pleasure that in this ir way, a separate book, honored another celebrity of our region, famous teacher, school director (which current students may not nė have heard of. Deja, deja...). But it is unpleasant that the book is not lacking in various language errors, that in general there are quite a lot of editing mo flaws (unspecified) J. Elison's manuscript headings, ununiform spelling of some local names, left inaccurate ir language history data, etc. ). ir Frankly, it's pretty nice J. Alison would be honoured, this book lacked a more experienced editor. This paper does not attempt to show the full variety of language errors found in the book, nor to assess their frequency. jų ar Here it took care to draw the attention of zoologisį ts only a frequently unsuccesu ssful prefix of some -inis, the -ė use of adjectives made. First, a few examples of the language used by the authors of the book: zoological 137 books (p. 5,81), literature (p. 12,56, 61, 85),zoological articles (p. 12), zoological systematics (p. 17), zoological terminology (p. 17), zoological knowledge (p. 31, on the same page used zoology ir Zinios), anatomical terms (p. 42), zoological terms (p. 51), zoological publications (p. 53), ecological knowledge (p. 59), faunistic works (p. 63), faunistinés news (p. 63), faunistic knowledge (p.63),ichtiological terminology (p.64),ornithological heritage, ornithological publications,ornithological literature (p-65),wildlife conservation actions (p.66), the zoological question (p. 80), zoology textbooks (p. 82), zoological papers (p. 83), faunistiné literature (p. 85) ir kt Everywhere here undamaged ar undamaged Lithuanian would not hesitate to use the rarely printed ne adjective, the origin of the relevant noun, o t. y. said ir written zoology books, zoology systematics (by the way, this is how zoologists usually use ir it!), zoology terms, terminology, knowledge, zoology questions, essays, textbooks, anatomy, ichthyology terms (terminology), ecology knowledge, faunistics works, news, knowledge, ornithology legacy, publications (adverts), literature, nature conservation actions (events) ir etc. Tą should ir be editor to put the head in the į otherwise respectable zoologists. The book is animated by a dozen J. Ellison ir jo relatives and some pictures of jo the book gų cover ar pages. That this much good The person who made Lithuania his homeland is made closer to the reader, as if familiar. ir O šį essay as the first ir article of the book ‘Jurgio Elison's life ir activity" author R.
