Summary/Abstract: The text presents the current progress of the work on The dictionary of the dialects from the Lublin region. The dictionary is intended to combine the value of the document with the interpretation and dialectological and ethnolinguistic creation of the material. To attain this end the dictionary is going to include both dialectic as well as general Polish items. The entries are going to be ordered alphabetically with a consideration of broad cultural and social contexts as well as the influence of civilizational changes on the condition of dialects. Each entry will consist of the following components: the meaning of the word (with a picture or a photo if necessary), qualificators, the contexts and range of use, examples, idioms, proverbs and sayings, geographical distribution of the word with a linguistic map, the most frequent phonological and morphological phenomena, references to synonyms and heteronyms as well as to other meanings of the word. Three dialectic entries have been presented as an example: sierp – a sickle (with a picture), kitka – a sheaf (with a map) and wierzeje – barn door (with a description supported by a picture and a map).
