Abstract

The article examines the concepts of “tradition”, “culture”, “local tradition”, “ethnic dialect”, and enquires into the hierarchy and semantic load of these concepts and their relation to the symbolic field of “locality”, as well as into the role that “localities” of different kinds play in the shaping of identities. The author conducts a comparative analysis of ethnolinguistic dictionaries and dictionaries of ethnic dialects, and discusses the assets that they can provide for the study of local traditions of various types.
