Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the peculiarities of ethno musicological scientific terminology, used by one of the most known scholars in the field of Lithuanian folk music research, collector and editor of Veliuona parish Lithuanian folk songs at the second part of the 19th century; priest Antanas Juška (Juškevičė, Juškevičius, 1819–1880). He showed the most important features of Lithuanian folk songs, stressed the importance of preserving and continuity of whole the Lithuanian ethnic culture for the future generations. The genre terminology in classification of folk songs, collected by him in the Nemunas river localities, is the most important here for all the Lithuanian ethnomusicology of the second part of 19th century. The ethno musicological terminology at that time was not created yet, and A. Juška had to create and to explain a lot of new definitions. His terminology is the very actual object for the contemporary studies of all the early Lithuanian ethnomusicological writings.
