Діалектологічні студії – важливе джерело сучасної української етнології

With the decrease in the number of reliable ethnographic sources, contemporary Ukrainian ethnologists are actively incorporating the results of studies from related humanities fi elds into their research, particularly dialectology. This exploration considers historical, ethnographic, administrative-territorial (geographical), and other contributions from Ukrainian dialectologists at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. It discusses their scholarly signifi cance in addressing various ethnological issues, such as the study of the origins and development of objects and phenomena in traditional folk culture, the improvement of historical-ethnographic regionalization of Ukraine, and more. The primary focus is on recent dialectological materials as a potential source for ethnological research, specifi cally relating to various forms of economic activities, traditional crafts and industries, traditional material and spiritual culture.
