Abstract

Lexemes to define names of stems and leaves of agricultural plants in the Middle Bug area dialects that function at the border of the South-Western and South-Eastern dialects of the Ukrainian language are characterized in the article. Vocabulary-semantic analysis of the fixed units of the dialectical speech is performed. Records and notes done in 74 settlements of the Middle Bug area during 2013 – 2015 are the source of the practical material. The numbering of the villages, urban settlements and towns is used in the article. The full names are listed at the end of the work under the title "The list of the examined settlements and their numbering" 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. The perspective of further research is study of the Ukrainian dialects of Middle Bug on the material of vocabulary-semantic group of words denoting vegetable crops and their parts.
