ORYOL AND KOSTROMA RESEARCHERS OF RUSSIAN FOLKISH WORD: ORYOL-KOSTROMA TIES

Abstract

The new works of dialectologists from Turgenev Oryol State University – issues of the large-scale alphabetical Dictionary of Oryol patois and small thematic vocabularies, monographs, scientific articles etc – are analysed in the article. The topic of the long-standing scientific and cultural ties between Kostroma and Oryol dialectologists, in the form of presentations at conferences held at Kostroma State University in recent years, is addressed as well. The next 2 volumes of the “Dictionary of Oryol patoisˮ – vol. 16, letters У to Ф, and vol. 17, letters Х to Ц [Dictionaries of Oryol patois-16 and -17] are in comparative perspective with the similar dictionary collections in this and other Russian regions in number of entries, composition and source of words, in peculiarities of lexical semantisation. The contribution of their compilers, the scientific editor of the Dictionary's editions, as well as their collaborators and colleagues in the study of Oryol folkish patois is well defined; their reliance on the works of the preceding generations of Oryol linguists is addressed as well. The work of those representatives of Oryol dialectological school under the guidance of Tat'yana Vasil'yevna Bakhvalova, who strengthened the scientific ties, both thematic and subject, with Kostroma dialectologists through the participation in joint research projects and scientific meetings, mainly connected with the systematic holding the readings in memory of Aleksandr Gromov at Kostroma State University, is noted. The conclusion about the fruitfulness of the forms of cooperation between Oryol and Kostroma dialectologists is made.
