Kretingos tarmės žodyne (2011) atsiskleidžiantys žemaitiško emocinio lauko kontūrai
Outline of the Samogitian Emotional Field as Reflected by Kretinga Dialect Dictionary (2011)

Summary/Abstract: The article continues the study on the reflections of the Samogitian identity, which are most prominent in daily communication. Referring to Kretinga Dialect Dictionary (2011) by Juozas Aleksandravičius, which provides an excellent presentation of the expression of mentality of the speakers of the Northern Samogitian Dialect of Kretinga, the present study seeks to reveal the connections between the peculiar characteristics of ethnically determined psychic phenomena of Samogitians (cf. Bliumas 1997) and the models of Samogitian daily speaking/communication. The research on the passages from daily discourse enables us to see the models of expression of the emotional conduct inherent in Samogitians and realise how the peculiarities of a certain linguistic conduct may affect and shape the emotional conduct of speakers.
