The article analyzes the poetic formulas of the Belarusian carol and volochebnye songs recorded in Omsk Irtysh re-
gion. The poetic formula is stable and repeatable, like the motive, but it does not have the motivation and the structure
of the sentence, most often it is expressed in a quotation from the song text, which is absolutely not characteristic of the
motive. The isolation and analysis of the poetic formulas of text corpora can provide a visual representation of a par-
ticular tradition. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the folk material recorded in the Irtysh through the prism of
comparative analysis with the material of the maternal tradition. To isolate poetic formulas, the author has compiled a
systematic, informative catalog that does not allow the full scope of the article to be published. But for clarity, the work
demonstrated selected groups reflecting the architectonics of songs and containing their classification and systematiza-
tion sections. The study resulted in conclusions that, on the one hand, the classification and systematization of regional
Omsk records demonstrates a significant degree of loss of resettlement material. This is manifested in a small number of
selected poetic formulas (in comparison with the place of outcome of the tradition), in the fragmentaryness and loss of
textual elements, as part of subject groups. On the other hand, there is a strong connection with the maternal tradition
which is reflected in the presence of typical ritual formulas, their full or partial coincidence with the formulas of а Bela-
rusian texts.
