Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with global aspects of lexical semantics of traditional culture (thematic vocabulary), ie. territorially and chronologically differential vocabulary of the speech of Mačva whose semantics affects all aspects of traditional life using as sources of lexical material the short story by a writer from Macva, Laza K. Lazarevic “For the first time with his father at the morning service” and vocabulary collected on the field in Macva, published and unpublished. The focus of the Orientalism as an current cultural trail in this area, the traditional culureme(lexeme) of the multicultural space on synchronic and diachronic level, lexical unit the semantics of which may be arrived at through a multi-disciplinary study. A linguocultural lexicographic procedure is proposed suitable for the presentation of cultural extralinguistic deposits in the semantics of lexicon, which requires encyclopedic definition arrived at by interdisciplinary studies and expertise that would be based on the results of an expert multi-cultural team.
