Abstract

This paper presents the speech of a native from a settlement in the west of the Voronezh Region. The aim of the study is to determine the distinctive characteristics of the dialectal linguistic personality from the village of Kolomytsevo, the Liskinsky District, to make up its modern portrait. The subject of our academic essay is the phonetic and grammatical features of the dialect and the themes that reflect the world of the dialect carrier. The object of our study is the Kolomychanka dialect. The living speech of Lidiya Mikhailovna Kostyrkina, recorded by me in the course of our easy communication, was used as a language material. In the process of working on the article, we applied the following methods: the method of stationary observation, survey, description and analysis. The results of the research are the data that allow interpreting a linguistic personality as a carrier of Russian-Ukrainian dialects according to a number of features that are most clearly seen at the phonetic level. We prove that the respondent’s speech is simple, expressive and plain. The article concludes that through the original living dialect, the speech portrait and the world of the dialect carrier are represented due to specific features, which display the image of a person with their views on rural realities, diverse family relationships, a rich inner way of thinking, a special faith in God, etc. Everyone has their own system of views. The presented material is introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.
