Danilevskaya A. Reflection of the primary locus in the phraseological world picture of dialect-speaking people (with reference to Russian dialects of the Amur region).

Within the framework of ethnolinguistic approach, the thesis analyzes the primary locus of dialect-speaking people and its reflection in the phraseological world picture of Russian dialects of the Amur region. The paper explores theoretical issues relevant to contemporary phraseological studies, general characteristics of Russian dialects on the territory of the Amur region, their historical and current status. It describes universal and ethno-specific principles of shaping linguistic and dialectal pictures of the world according to the parameters of the ethnolinguoculturological approach. The primary focus of attention is on the description of the main approaches to the definition of the "locus", structuring the model of the primary locus of a dialect, which is defined by four concentric widening circles: HUMAN - FAMILY - VILLAGE - REGION. With a view to giving a comprehensive analysis of the Amur Russian dialectal phraseology, with a common "primary locus" conceptual field, the paper identifies the nuclear and peripheral zones of the phraseology, discusses the system relations that allow to define semantic centers to detect the idioethnic identity of the phraseological fragment in the dialectal picture of the world. The study of the fields Amur region dialect-speakers pay special attention to has allowed defining the semantic dominants of the primary locus of the dialect phraseology (Labor, Speech, Time) and concluding that the locus predetermines all the processes in the appearance of new phraseological units in the dialects.
