HORSE BREEDING VOCABULARY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MIDDLE BUG AREA DIALECTS STUDY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the lexico-semantic analysis of the horse gender terms fixed in the Middle Bug area dialects that function at the border of the South-Western and South-Eastern dialects of the Ukrainian language. Records and notes done in 65 settlements of the Middle Bug area are the source of the practical material. The names shortenings of the villages, urban settlements and towns are used in the article. The full names are listed at the end of the work under the title "The list of the names shortenings of the examined settlements" to represent the areal distribution of the analyzed dialect units. The examined names and the dialect speech examples are represented by means of the common phonetic transcription for recording the Ukrainian literary and dialect speech (the transcription is presented in the first volume of the Atlas of the Ukrainian Language). The conclusion is that the fixed names are connected with literary equivalents although they differ in phonetics, vocabulary and semantics.
