Abstract:
Research into the phraseological component of dialects in different Ukrainian areas is especially relevant due to the fact that during the last decade the phraseology of dialects has been studied very intensively, despite all the difficulties connected with collecting dialect material and the unrefined methods of their researching. The article is devoted to the structural/semantic description of phraseological units with phytomyn components, which make up the phraseologic/semantic line “unclever, stupid”. The source for this research was material from dictionaries, phrasal dictionaries, and from collections of modem words from three dialects of the Ukrainian language. Analysis of phraseological units and their components in space allowed for the determination of either non-fixed phrases or the absence of their expected components, the firmness of different dialectal phenomena, and system phenomena within phraseology.
