Homo Loguens Image in Dialectal Culture in the Russian and Rusin Languages

The paper focuses on the vocabulary naming a person who speaks Russian and Rusin (Transcarpathian) dialects. The material of more than two thousand nouns and adjectives has proved the importance of the specified parameter for the person assessment in both cultures. The comparison has revealed 1) the general rules of the national speech social (to speak on the case, not to lie, not to gossip, etc.) and orthoepic etiquette (to speak clearly, at a moderate pace, etc.); 2) the asymmetry of lexical subsystems - a clear predominance of pejorative units, with the content, not manner of speech, marked to a greater extent, a smaller proportion of feminine lexemes (except the "gossip" family); 3) the onomatopoeic nature of a significant number of derivatives (balyaba, myrgonya /goykash, mymrak), etc. The peculiarities of homo loquens representation in two Slavic cultures consist in the explanation of names, the nominal word derivation models. So, the Russian language actively uses somatic derivatives: rotan, krivoyazychnik, gubotryop, brylotryas; gorlash, zherelastic; ushnitsa, with most of them with the roots khvost- (dvukhvostka, okhvost, khvostoboyy and zub- (dolgozub, zuban, subotyca). The Rusin language shows a greater parallelism in the formation of the names by gender: dudrosh - dudroshka, larmach - larmachka, nimak - n'imanya.
