LEXICAL AND SEMANTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF LITHUANIAN LOANWORDS IN BRYANSK SUBDIALECTS

Abstract

. The article studies the relics of centuries-old interaction between East Slavic and Baltic tribes on the territory of the modern Bryansk region (Russia). The historical and socio-cultural factors, against the background of which the linguo-cultural interaction between Slavs and Balts took place, are described. Lithuanian-Slavic lexical parallels in the subdialects of the western Bryansk region, not belonging to the Russian dialects of early formation, are established. The thematic organization of Lithuanian loanwords in Bryansk subdialects is presented, and their semantic development is shown. The stylistic coloration of Lithuanian loanwords in East Slavic languages and dialects is described on the example of folk subdialects in the Bryansk region.
