Abstract
In 1980 Eva Schmidt, linguist and folklorist recorded 11 Ostyak songs from Anna Nikitichna Liskova, a Sherkal Ostyak woman. The songs are structured in lines, either two-seeded or threeseeded. The characteristics found during the 28 years of studying Ostyak songs, can be found in them: we can mention first of all fluctuating pitch and the structure of the melody and text. Respecting the melody, the songs of Anna Liskova represent a transition towards more developed, fixed, strophic forms: the lines mostly alternate regularly. The texts do not show such a transition; the archaic forms of Ostyak song creation are applied in them even when the topic is not archaic. This is an indication that the Ostyak songs may survive in a changed environment, under changed conditions.
