The External Appearance of a Person in the Don Dialect Picture of the World
Reconstruction of the linguistic picture of the world of any region is one of the urgent scientifi c problems of modern linguistics, an important role in this is given to the study of dialect vocabulary. Dialect vocabulary, reflecting various aspects of folk life,
stores rich information about the system of values and traditions of a particular linguistic and cultural community. In the center of the regional picture of the world is a person, his nomination. The dialect names of a person in appearance reflect the specifi cs of the people's worldview, determine the value priorities of dialect speakers. The Don dialect picture of the world, being part of the general Russian language picture, has a number of features that distinguish the Don Cossacks from other residents of Russia, which is refl ected in the selection of motivational features that underlie the nominative units. Important features for characterizing a person's
appearance, from the point of view of Don dialect speakers, are height, body type, faces, and self-presentation.
