Abstract
The article deals with the phenomenon of sea shanties and their intercultural features in the context of European-Polynesian interactions. The history of the emergence of this genre of maritime folk music, as well as the main functions that sea shanties served, are described. A general functional classification of shanties is also provided. The integration of Polynesian linguacultures into the texts of sea songs and the consequences of such integration are given particular attention.
