Representation of ideas about the egocentric time in the vocabulary of the dialects of the Transbaikalian old believers

The article explores an ordinary notions of egocentric time, which are represented in semantics of temporal lexical units of dialects of Semeiskies - the Transbaikalian Old Believers. The concepts of time, which exist in the minds of dialect carriers and are represented in the semantics of lexical units of dialects of Semeiskies, can be represented as a conventional scale. The paper analyzes the lexical units, which express the relation «past - present - future» in dialects of Transbaikalian Semeiskies. This analysis allows us to reconstruct one of the language time models, which illustrates the idea of it carriers of traditional folk culture. It is allows revealing some properties of perception of egocentric time: zoning the time scale, the asymmetry of the scale, the time interval ratio, their irregularity, the direction of the movement of time. The reconstructed model demonstrates a fragment of the ethnic worldview, and not inherent only to this sub-ethnic group.
