Abstract
The article considers dialectisms as an expressive tool in the prose of F. A. Abramov, a writer who was born and devoted his professional life to Russian North. Dialectisms reflect national cultural archetypes, thus having a significant visual and figurative potential. It is shown that Fedor Abramov, who promoted the freedom of linguistic choice in artistic expressions, actively and skillfully applied the folk language in all its diversity, including all types of dialectisms that perform nominative, characterological and stylistic functions. Ethnographisms are considered as a prominent examples of dialecticisms, whose meanings are fully manifisted in a literary context. The use of northern dialectisms allowed Abramov to emphasize important meanings, give an adequate characterization of characters and form a figurative system of expressions.
