The subject of study is to demonstrate a mutual relationship between a word and its designate as well as the function and place of dialectal words in the linguistic system of countryside residents. Words—remaining in close correlation with designates which they determine—in dialects fulfil not only the function of identification and naming, but also interpretation of the surrounding reality. This is achieved by preservation of lexical and semantic archaisms as well as by the adoption of new meanings and new functions by old words. However, folk dialects cannot be analysed only with regard to their individual character but in close correlation with general Polish language. Specific character of both varieties of language, dialectal and general Polish, forms, in principle, a common linguistic image of the countryside, and both groups of vocabulary supplement and complement each other, thus the description should not concern dialectal vocabulary but the vocabulary appearing in a dialect, i.e., apart from words and typically dialectal meanings also the words and meanings common for a dialect and the general Polish.
