Kamchatka dialect phraseology in classification and lexico-semantic aspects

the article discusses the analysis of stable combinations in the dialects spoken by the Kamchadal people. The Kamchadal constitute a subethnic group within the Kamchatka region, represented by the Kamchatkan dialect on the linguistic map of the peninsula. Currently, various studies are underway to explore these late-settled dialects. However, to date, there has been no research on phraseological units. Dialectical phraseology reflects the culture, history, and unique characteristics of a region. This highlights the significance of the research being conducted. The aim of the study is to analyze Kamchatka dialects phraseology from a classification and lexical-semantic perspective. The main research methods include continuous sampling of linguistic data, descriptive-analytical methods, lexicography, classification, cognitive interpretative analysis, and its specific techniques such as etymologization and ethno-linguistic commentary on dialect expressions. The material for this study was obtained from a card index of Kamchatkan dialects, field notes, and audio recordings collected during expeditions to remote regions of the Kamchatka Peninsula. The paper identifies the main thematic categories of phraseological expressions, describes their semantics, and interprets numerous phraseological units with regard to their figurative content, cognitive orientation, and ethno-cultural specificity. The systematization of this phraseological heritage will help preserve and transmit to future generations the characteristics of dialectical phraseology that might otherwise be lost. The developed methods of analysis and methodology for describing phraseological materials can be applied to the analysis of fixed combinations within the systems of dialects in other regions. The materials of the article are of practical value for linguists, ethnologists, ethnographers, and cultural scientists.
