Lexical Borrowings in Dialectal Phraseology of the Chernivtsi Region: The Diachronic Aspect

This article is devoted to the analysis of dialectal phraseological units with foreign components (Romanian, German, Polish, Hebrew, Hungarian) recorded in the dictionary entitled "Phraseologisms and Paroemias of the Chernivtsi Region" (Phi pa3e omicron pi omicron i3MU ma napemii epHieuHu, 2017) from the point of view of their number, presence in modern local dialect and membership in certain semantic groups. It was established that borrowed elements referring to household items and those that function as regional synonyms of Ukrainian components in the structure of dialectal phraseological units are the most frequently used ones. The most frequent elements in the analysed linguistic material are groups of words borrowed from Romanian, German and Polish. The study material indicates the absence of complete correlation in the dynamics of borrowings on the lexical and phraseological levels: in most cases the componential composition of popular colloquial phraseology is subordinate to their emotional-evaluative and expressive functions.
