The specifics of the system-structural organization of presentational vocabulary in the Russian dialects of the Samara region is considered. Lexical materials of dialectological expeditions, supplementing the Volga Atlas, are used. The relevance of the study is determined by the importance of information about the originality of Russian folk dialects in the peripheral areas. The array of words indicating the names of the realities from the sphere of the household of a traditional Russian house is identified, the typology of dialect correspondences is defined. Generic-specific, variable and synonymic relations are examined. Special attention is paid to dialectal names from the point of view of the nominating and derivational components, organizing the thematic groups. The existence of dialectal variants of popular words and dialectal lexemes absent in the literary language and its varieties, the variety of principles and methods of nomination, the predominance of words with clear etymology is stated. It is shown that most of the dialectal lexemes denoting household items are all-Russian. It is established that locally limited vocabulary has typological similarities with the dialects of other areas of both polar dialectal groups of the Russian language. Group of local vocabulary that unites Samara dialects with the other dialects of the Volga region is identified. It is concluded that the study of the presentational vocabulary extends the idea of the typology of Samara secondary dialects.
