Summary/Abstract: This ar􏰀cle discusses the issue of a rela􏰀onship between oral characteris􏰀cs of dialects with the func􏰀oning of the lexis that is specific to them. A dialect, as a speech of an oral community, func􏰀ons based on an intergenera􏰀onal message. This influences the “storage” of a significant por􏰀on of the local lexis in the sphere close to passive command. This property determines, to a large extent, the limited resource of lexicographic materials, since a considerable por􏰀on of the vocabulary is provided by respondents only a􏰂er a straigh􏰃orward interven􏰀on of the explorer.
