Summary/Abstract: The subject of the dissertation is morphological analysis of, present in dialect lexis, nominal formations and determining their relationships with meanings of actions motivating them. Derivative interpretation has been applied to all these derivative nouns, which were formed from verbs i.e. so called formal deverbatives and to those, whose relations to meanings of activities is expressed beyond their structure in discussions on derivational meanings – secondary deverbatives. The analysis involves pointing out formal and semantic principles of forming derivative structures, types of derivation and categorisation of nouns adopted in dialects. The analysis indicates that the functional character of formations under is predominantly determined by their formal relations whith derivational verb basis. Formal deverbatives should be considered as primary, mainly for those semantic-derivative categories, whose relations with motivating meanings of actions are taken as the basis for definition of entire class of derivatives. An inclusion of noun derovative formation, indirect relations with meanings of actions are determined by lexical meanings of derivatives adopted in specific cultural conditions in folk environment, supported by derivative-semantic functions of formants typical for primary deverbatives. For secondary deverbatives a semantic role of their basis is the considered to be secondary.
