Abstract
The article lays emphasis on the peculiarities of various diseases and pathologies of the human body nominae used by the residents of Western Polissia in everyday life. The peculiarities have been revealed in the course of case study of folklore texts and the data of contemporary dialectology. The identified lexical parallels between registered units in the dialectal dictionaries, books, compiled on the materials of the Polissian dialect and the analogous names of these diseases in folklore texts confirm the thesis that folklore is a special kind of stylistic interpretation of the colloquial speech.
