Ukrainian dialectal verb lexicon and semantics are mapped near other dialectal vocabulary at phonetic, morphological, lexical and syntactic levels in a number of linguogeographical sources. The problem of presentation of verb lexicon and semantics is demonstrated on the example of several linguogeographical works that can be divided into two groups. Works of the first group provide information about lexical verb variation. In these works the verb semes are mapped, e.g. Ukrainian dial. ʽhowl

... ut wolves)', ʽmeow (about cats)', ʽto meet', Ukrainian-Slovakian ʽverbs that indicate cooking of leaven (for bread, etc.)', ʽto sow (hemp, flax)', ʽto comb the fiber on the brush' and Transcarpathian verb phraseology — the seme ʽa person (sick, drunk or in a normal state) sleeps so hard that nobody can wake him (e.g. спит, йак на глуха́н'у; спит, йак на глу́шу; спит' глу́пно). The second group consists of works that provide information about lexical and different types realizations of verbs. Near other maps about lexical implementation of verb semes the authors give semantic maps, e.g., maps Middle Dnieper and Steppe лаˈтати [т'], Eastern Polissian кресати (that has meanings ʽto make fire with a flint', ʽto make fire with a silicon lighter', ʽto beat stone against stone', ʽto cut down a branch', ʽto fell the wood', ʽto hew', ʽto cut', ʽto go quickly', ʽto dance intensively', ʽto sap with passion', ʽto forge a sap', ʽto swear'). It is established that in the atlas, dedicated to the special study of links between Carpatho-Ukrainian and Southern Slavic languages, verb lexicon is presented on lexical, semantic maps and verb spreading maps that contain the information about verb presence in the settlement. A linguogeographical source that represents Slavs' traditional spiritual culture and presents names of actions related to interpersonal contacts, different feelings and emotions, marital relations, etc. is revealed. These names are presented on lexical, semantic, motivational and nominative verb maps. Analyzing the phenomenon of verb semantic variation, P.Yu. Gritsenko mapped the semantic structure of the dialectal verb at the supra-dialectal level and on the basis of distinguishing separate semes from the integral meaning of syntagma тереˈбити + Object he identified semantic subcomplexes. The study outlines vistas of further research into Ukrainian dialectal verbs and their semantics.
