Abstract

Summary. Introduction. The author has researched the thematic group of weaving vocabulary, which allows to describe the composition of its units and has systematized relations within this group in more detail, has studied active processes in speech, and has revealed archaic elements.Purpose. The purpose is to provide lexical and semantic characteristics of the names associated with spinning, to identify the systemic links of the studied nomens, their semantics and variability in the Middle Dnieper dialects.Methods. The author used such methods as descriptive, component, structural, and the method of contextual analysis.Results. Lexical-semantic groups of names for the designation of the names of tools, their parts, yarns and threads are different in their structure: lexemes; attributive and substantive phrases. Most of the names are related to weaving, and some are common ones that have acquired specialized meaning, replacing already by the forgotten names. Common nomens that have acquired terminological meaning reflect the word-forming capabilities of spoken language and the dynamics of vocabulary. Poly-semantic lexemes are recorded. Some of the attested nomens show the areal (territorial) differentiation, and in the Middle Dnieper dialects there are different word-formation, phonetic, accentuation and grammatical variants. Originality. For the first time the article has presented and clarified the lexical and semantic groups of the names of tools, spins, and threads associated with spinning found in the Middle Dnieper dialects. In the course of the research the features of representation have been found out; the systematic connections of the studied nomens, their semantics, variability and areal characteristics have been revealed.Conclusion. In the course of the research, it has been found that the names of tools, spins and threads in the Middle Dnieper dialects are dominated by one-word terms and common words. The semes have been represented by the two-word formations showing the desire of the speakers to provide more complete information about the denotation. Much of the terms are ambiguous and formed by a semantic way, including transference. The phonetic, grammatical, accentuational and word-forming variability of the names is revealed, due to both the ability of the speakers to create individually, caused by the system of dialects, and inter-dialect contacts.
