Microtoponyms in the aspect of the study of lexical dialectisms in the Lezgin language

the article presents some results of dialectological study of microtoponymy of territory of Akhty district of the Republic of Dagestan, conditionally area of distribution of Akhty dialect of Lezgin language and its speech, as well as a number of mixed dialects (and speech). The fact that lexical dialects have been identified in the Lezgin toponymy and has predetermined their further study in terms of functioning in the modern state of idiom. The study in this direction found lexical dialects: 1) functionally stable over time and actualizing according to a specific speech situation or context; 2) obsolete words that have fallen out of everyday use and are found in the passive vocabulary of informants or individual representatives of the dialect. The study of regional toponymic lexemes, in particular functionally stable in dialect, has revealed in a number of cases lexical-semantic lacunarity in literary language. Thus, the new factual material introduced in the course of research can be considered as a resource for enriching the Lezgin literary language.
