The current investigation involves the culturological data revealed because of the analysis of the dialect language which makes an empirical basis for the description of the peculiar features of the mentality of dialect speakers. The paper focuses on the problem of studying dialect words with its aim to analyze the language speakers. The main attention is paid to the problem of the manifestation of the speaker in the dialect word-stock.
