| Summary: | In the article presents an attempt of making a comparative description of the culturological
concept of water in Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Russian dialects of the Danube region on the basis of
analysis of linear dialect and folklore texts of ceremonial subjects is undertaken. The semantic
structure of the concept is represented by such values as “liquid”, “pure (saint) water”, “living water”,
“dead water”, “deep water”. In folklore texts, especially in wedding songs about love, about maiden
destiny, semantic functionts of this concept are observed also at other lexemes, which denote the
water space, for example, river, sea, well, Danube, ford, pond, rain, dew, etc. Water as a conceptual
symbol indicates the corresponding ceremonial ritual element.
