Dictionary of Vologda dialects: once again about lost phraseology

Phraseological composition of Vologda dialects is partially represented in the following lexicographic sources: “Dictionary of the regional Vologda dialect” (according to the manuscript of P. A. Dilaktorsky [1902]), “Dictionary of Russian dialects of Karelia and adjacent areas”, “Dictionary of dialects of the Russian North”, etc. the main corpus of Vologda phraseology is reflected in the “Dictionary of Vologda dialects”. However, in this prominent work, some Vologda phraseological units have not attracted attention of the compilers and can only be found in the illustrative material of dictionary entries. The article contains an analysis of the phraseological part of the “Dictionary of Vologda dialects” showing that these lost phraseological units have every right to be lexicographically reflected, since they find direct parallels with phraseological units of three types: 1) those described in the same dictionary, 2) those presented in other dialect dictionaries, 3) those available in the literary language. The author proposes a list of phraseological units that might be included in the future editions of the “Dictionary of Vologda dialects”; these units correlate in semantics, structure and both lexical and grammatical affiliation with phraseological units of the Russian literary language.
