Abstract
The purpose of the study is to determine the features of synonymous relations of phraseological units of comparison in the dialects of Russian Germans. The study was based on the authors' corpus of transcripts of audio recordings of the conversations with speakers of German dialects and various questionnaires collected during dialectological expeditions to former German villages in the Altai region. The article provides an analysis of the expressive and stylistic characteristics of the studied dialectal phraseological synonyms, which have different structural organization. Stylistic synonyms with the same and different construction structures are considered. The corresponding phraseological units of the literary German language are used for comparison.
Analysis of the factual material shows that phraseological expressive-stylistic synonyms are widely represented in the dialects. In our material, the dominant of the synonymous series is, in most cases, a phraseological unit that has an equivalent in the literary German language. This demonstrates the normative role of the literary language, which has been preserved in the island dialects. In fact, there are no sublime phraseological units, which proves the one-sided ramification of dialect synonymy, namely a wide variety of stylistically lowered phraseological units
