Author's dictionaries of Tobolsk local historians of the middle of the 19th century in the context of Russian dialect lexicography and linguogeography of the Russian language (based on the material of manuscripts from the archive of the Russian geographical society)

The article presents some results of a study of handwritten author’s dictionaries. Dictionaries contain local words from the speech of residents of Tobolsk Governorate of the second half of the 19th century. Dialect and all-Russian lexicographic sources of the 19th-20th centuries, including historical dictionaries, have been used to analyze the dictionary material. Siberian local historians made the dictionaries at the request of the Russian Geographical Society in the framework of the Ethnographic program. The study of the areal material was carried out in synchronous and diachronic aspects. As a result of the comparison, we have established the relative correlation of lexical semantics of words recorded in Tobolsk Governorate with various dialect areas of Russia, including Siberia, shown the differences in the meaning of some words in dictionaries. These differences call into question the status of localism for a certain part of the words that were included in Tobolsk handwritten dictionaries.
