FOLK DIALECTS IN THE 21ST CENTURY: DIRECTIONS, METHODS, TRENDS IN DIALECTOLOGICAL RESEARCH

Summary/Abstract: The paper addresses the condition of folk dialects and dialectological research within the linguistic and cultural reality of rural communities in the 21st century. Ongoing changes in the civilizational, moral, and mental profiles of rural inhabitants pose new challenges for dialectology, making it possible both to interpret linguistic transformations occurring in the contemporary countryside and to situate language within a broader cultural, social, and civilizational context. This perspective presents dialect not merely as a document of a passing era, but as a lasting component of the national heritage. Such an approach is enabled by emphasizing the interdisciplinary character of contemporary research - encompassing ethnolinguistic and axiolinguistic perspectives, sociological dialectology, dialectal textology, and oral history - developed in close interaction with related disciplines, primarily sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics, ethnography, and ethnology.
