Le byline (dal russo byliny) sono composizioni epiche (quindi in versi) tramandate oralmente. La lingua in cui si esprimono è ibrida, essendo caratterizzata da tratti arcaici e anche dialettali, assorbiti in varie località e in varie epoche. Il termine bylina (ormai comunemente pluralizzato all’italiana) deriva dal passato del verbo “essere”, bylo “[ciò che] è stato, [ciò che] è avvenuto”. In origine le byline cantavano un fatto vero, probabilmente registrato anche nelle Cronache. Tuttavia....
