Summary/Abstract: The article presents the exponents of equivalence by means of which equivalence is determined in atext. The intrasystem relation (within asingle language), disregarding equivalence in translation, has been considered. Equivalence is asemantic relationship that connects at least two elements (equivalents). The equivalents are corresponding in atext i.e. they have acommon reference (e.g. Yankees = Americans), and may assume the form of single words or longer phrases (e.g. Japan = The Land of Cherry Blossoms). Dialectologists can find equivalence useful as it can be applied in atext to juxtapose literary and dialectal units. Syntactic, punctuation and lexical means have been distinguished.
