• Research data related to the implementation of the National Science Centre grant entitled "The relationships between man and plant in Polish folklore (on the example of shrubs). Studies on the border between ethnolinguistics and ethnobotany" (project number: 2021/43/D/HS2/01019; project manager: Dr. Olga Kielak). The document contains three types of research data utilized in the analyses presented in the article on Polish names for black elder (Sambucus nigra) [Olga Kielak, From the name to the popular image of the plant: the Polish names for the black elder (Sambucus nigra), "Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine" 2024, 20, 12]. These include: (a) lexicographic data – nationwide and dialectal names for black elder (Sambucus nigra) extracted from general and dialectal dictionaries of the Polish language, obtained during on-site queries in two card catalogs: the Krakow Dictionary of Polish Dialects by the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Lublin Ethnolinguistic Workshop named after Jerzy Bartmiński, as well as noted from 19th- and 20th-century ethnographic sources; (b) ethnographic data – contexts containing folk beliefs, convictions, and practices, extracted from ethnographic sources published at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries (monographs and articles published in ethnographic journals, including "Zbiór Wiadomości do Anthropologii Krajowej" "Wisła," and "Lud"), as well as from material publications gathering field-recorded informal accounts; and (c) folkloric data (etiological legend). The collected research data span various time periods—from the late 18th and 19th centuries to contemporary times, with a prevalence of older materials. The document includes metrics (abbreviations), the resolution of which is provided in the bibliography. All analyses conducted based on the collected source data were carried out using a linguistic methodology (cognitive definition).
