Abstract: The subject of the study is the description of the conceptual field of the linguistic activity in the Russian dialects of the Amur region, distinguished by local conditions of interdialectal contact. It is argued that the verbs can act as representatives of the picture of the world of native speakers of Russian dialects: the meanings of dialect verbs revealed in the process of analysis reflect the worldview of dialect speakers, the peculiarities of their life, interests, inclinations, psyche, behavior, the idea of native speakers of dialects about relationships between people.
The use of the field method, as well as elements of the cognitive commentary technique and quantitative comparisons made it possible to identify the features of the verbalization of culturally significant concepts for native speakers of the Amur region, and also allowed us to describe the concept "Fear". The relevance and novelty of the study lies in the fact that the specifics of the verb vocabulary in dialects remains poorly studied; For the first time, an attempt was made to study the dialect picture of the world of the inhabitants of the Amur region based on the material of one of the lexical-semantic groups of dialect verbs recorded in the "Dictionary of Russian Dialects of the Amur Region". The main conclusions of this study summarize that the concept "Fear" in the Russian dialects of the Amur region has a structure: it consists of a core, a center and a periphery. The concept of "Fear" is expressed by synonymous verbal lexemes, which represent a gradational series with the meanings "to experience a state of fear" and "to bring to a state of fear".
