Summary/Abstract: The project named The Atlas of the Slovak Language is supposed to be completed by volume, which will reveal geographical diff erences in appropriate syntax. The method of reliable field data collection has proved unsuccessful when researching the syntax of dialects. An undistorted picture of systematic elements in dialectal syn-tax can be obtained through analyses of complex dialectal texts representing the entire Slovak language territory. This method facilitates not only resuming those syntactical structures which are typical for dialectal speech, but also ascertaining their frequency in comparison with equal units. This approach is recommended also for collected initial materials serving as base for the syntactic volume of the Atlas. Researching several par-ticular types of the infinitive attribute, as well as the appositional attribute with verbal substantive which are components of the syntactic system of a great part of the Slovak dialects, but which, nevertheless, had not found their way into literary language, we have decided to use an analysis of complex dialectal texts.
