The Contemporary Belarusian Sub-Dialects in Southern Lithuania (Varėna District)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present contemporary Belarusian dialects functioning in southern Lithuania (the Varėna district municipality), which so far have not been the subject of comprehensive linguistic research. The basis for the analysis is the author’s own material which was collected during field research in 2014. The article presents the structure of Belarusian dialects (including selected features of phonetics, morphology, syntax, vocabulary and phraseology) as well as the sociolinguistic aspect of their functioning in a multilingual environment.
