The article analyzes the ways of representation of a dialect word in lexicographic editions of the end of the XX – beginning of the XXI century. First of all, the dynamics of the speech of the spoken word over the last decades is noted, because in the publications of the 70-90s of the last century dialectologists-lexicographers mostly presented the spoken word as a dialect unit with clear heuristic potential and can be a reliable source for various dialectological studies, especially in the field of phonetics, lexicology, morphology etc., because the dictionaries contained information about the variants of the dialect word (phonetic and grammatical), its grammatical parameters, semantics, localization, mostly even accurately to the settlement, sporadically presented an illustrative material that did not allow to fully represent the nominated subject, especially associated with its use in various traditions, beliefs, rituals, because there was a lack of descriptiveness. Instead, in modern dialect lexicographical publications, the way of representing the material has shifted with the emphasis on the functioning of the dialect word in a coherent text of different volume depending on the purpose of presenting the material. Modern dictionaries record not only the above parameters of the dialect word, but also its linguistic and cultural content, the valence of the represented word, its cultural understanding, which allows to trace the functioning of the colloquial name from different positions, to establish the cultural background of the nomination, to reveal emotional and aesthetic words.
It is concluded that the future of Ukrainian dialect lexicography is based on dictionaries of a new type with maximum representation of the spoken word in the context of its functioning, according to dictionaries-concordances.
