Твори наївних поетів як джерельна база для словника українських говірок Підляшшя

The state of research on Ukrainian dialects in Podlachia is described, in particular, their lexicographic study. It is noted that the works of local naive poets, mainly peasant pensioners, should serve as an important source for creating Podlachia dialectal dictionaries. Their verses are rich in specifi c vocabulary necessary for dictionary compilation. Examples from the verses of Olha Onatsyk (born in 1921) and Volodymyr Sosna (born in 1937) from the vicinity of Bielsk Podlaski are provided, based on interviews conducted in 2005. Most of the words in their poetic works are of general Ukrainian origin, often with dialectal phonetic and morphological features. Important for dialectal lexicography specifi c local vocabulary is divided into several groups: domestic (e.g., байкі, зганути, швед), ethnographic (e.g., ляшок, мидель, пресняк), ritual (e.g., дивоснубе, мазурок, перепеліця). A separate group consists of polonisms with diff erent degrees of assimilation (e.g., бльок, дісь, таньо).
