Abstract
The Dictionary of the Belarusian Language by I.I. Nasovich (1870) is an important source of ethnolinguistic observations. In its register, it contains lexemes corresponding to the names of religious holidays and confessional realities, folk customs and rites. A significant layer of words has etymological information (not always accurate), including an indication of their foreign origin. The ethnolinguistic component consists not only of the selection of appropriate Belarusian and borrowed vocabulary, but also the design of stylistic labels for registry words that refer to certain everyday and spiritual-cultural realities, far from the predominantly peasant Belarusian life. These factors destroy the stereotypes about the "peasantry" of the Belarusian language, its reduced character and the impossibility of conveying abstract and high-style concepts.
