Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the lexical structure of the dialects of the Lutsk district of the Volyn region. The study elucidates the dialect features of local speakers and regards them as an opportunity to research and monitor various changes in their speech.

The emphasis is laid on the wedding lexical and thematic group, which is ancient and valuable for the study of the history of the language, in particular, its subgroup “Names of dishes and drinks of the wedding table”. The study has been carried out from the point of view of semantic motivation, and an inventory of word-forming affixes has been established.

The collected material expands the source base of the Ukrainian dialectology and can be used in the process of compiling regional, universal, and ethnolinguistic dictionaries, the Ukrainian Lexical Atlas. The central issue of the study concerns the means of nomination.

The specified lexical-semantic subgroup of the researched dialect forms has a rich repertory, the level of representation and nominative variability of which are different. Most types of wedding lexicon are monolexems. Analytical names are represented mainly by the attributive phrases type. The repertory shows formal variation at the phonemic and grammatical levels.

The research seeks to deepen the analysis of the motivation of the names of the wedding drama’s material components, such as dishes and drinks. The lexical-semantic characteristics of the names have been determined. The variability is a dominant characteristic feature of the analyzed thematic group of dialect vocabulary. The entire lexical group is permeated by synonymous relations. The motivational connections in the studied utterances do not involve all lexemes.
