Abstract:

The project’s goal is to give an answer to the growing attention about the theme for the everyday life of the person during different historical periods, its cognitive and value expirience, its relations with the world around. New lexical information about the main areas of life that will be searched is: person and nature (weather, seasons, natural disasters, astronomical objects etc.); person and his living (homes and dishes; foods and drinks, clothes etc.); person and society (names, profesions and social realisation, christian values etc.).
