Abstract

The aim of the article is to study metaphorical regionalism of Chelyabinsk region as an important marker of the local picture of the world and regional identity manifestation. The authors argue that regionalisms formed by metaphorical transformations of the word meaning reflect unique characteristics of regional lexicon. The integral approach to research regionalisms is justified as it includes cognitive, sociolinguistic, language and cultural methods of analyzing empirical material retrieved by continuous sampling and the survey of the 250 residents of Chelyabinsk region. The reasons of regionalisms appearance and the main types of metaphorical regionalisms have been outlined. Regionalisms under study include official and unofficial place names and minor place names as well as official commercial names. This relevant research is a part of the work of Chelyabinsk and Magnitogorsk linguists targeted at compiling Russian-English dictionary of regional words and word combinations.
