Summary/Abstract: Field research conducted in the Brest region of Belarus reveals many synonyms in dialect vocabulary related to agriculture and the household (this is the most ancient and archaic vocabulary). But many lexical facts that exist in the speeches of the Brest region of Belarus have not been introduced into scientiic use, therefore, the attention of researchers to this topic is not accidental. The most obvious distribution of lexical facts can be shown by regional linguistic geography. Therefore, the article contains linguistic maps based on the analysis of numerous linguistic materials recorded by the author himself in about 70 rural settlements of the Brest region. Distinctive lexemes, which are introduced into scientiic use for the irst time, once again conirm the conclusions of previous researchers about the linguistic richness of the studied region (and the whole Polesie) and can signiicantly expand the factual basis of Slavic dialectology.
