The question of dialogue of cultures as a form of language contact

An attempt to analyze the impact of Polish on the formation of the folk production terminology was made in this study. The object of study is the popular production terminology, namely woodworking terminology, which was collected by the author from 66 dialects of the Central Podillia during expeditions in 2007–2009. The work examines the structure, operation features, the semantic organization of Polonisms appearing in the woodworking crafts vocabulary of the Central Podillia dialects. It was found that when adopting to the Ukrainian language many nomens underwent the phonetic, morphological, accentological adaptation, during which some of them received different meaning.
