ORGANIZATION OF A DIALECTOLOGICAL EXPEDITION TO COLLECT ETHNOCULTURAL LANGUAGE MATERIAL

Abstract

The article analyzes preparation of a field expedition, the purpose of which is to collect ethnocultural linguistic material. The possibility of visiting places of compact residence to obtain more extensive language material is being considered. Carrying out this kind of field trip with pre-prepared material allows for a targeted sampling of vocabulary, recording specific grammatical phenomena or phonetic features of dialects. As practical material used during the expedition, the development of questionnaires used to work with speakers of the dialect in the German national region of the Altai Krai is presented. The data obtained as a result of this type of expedition constitutes important material for further dialectological research. Of particular value is the knowledge reflected in the language about the culture, ethnography and history of the speakers of the dialect, which is important for interdisciplinary research.
