The paper addresses the interaction of linguistic and extralinguistic factors in describing the linguistic worldview. Necessity of studying Russian folk dialects in order to identify the main features of the ethnic culture and social specificity of the Russian people living in the territory of Mordovia is substantiated. The object of the research are numerous dialect verbs and phraseological units belonging to the group denoting professional work activities. On the basis of semantic analysis it is shown that linguistic units representing work and labour in the linguistic consciousness of a dialect speaker convey traditional folk perception of reality and the specificity of the national character of the Russian people. The research has led us to the conclusion that dialect vocabulary and phraseology are one of the means of acquiring knowledge of life in various aspects by the dialect speaker; it allows reconstruction of the relevant part of the national linguistic worldview.
