We analyse a number of issues of linguistic folklore studies related to determining the status of the language of folklore texts in comparison with the national language and dialect. The language of Kostroma folklore is fundamentally sub-dialect, but at the same time it has some regional features related to the existence of genres of oral folk art in a certain territory and due to the ancient beliefs of the indigenous population of the region. The specific features of a regionally marked word reveal themselves in the context of the artistic, journalistic and scientific works of Kostroma writers and local historians of the late 19th – 20th centuries (A.O. Ablesimov, N.A. Nekrasov, А.N. Ostrovsky, S.V. Maksimov, I.M. Kasatkin, E.V. Chestnyakov, N.N. Vino-gradov, V.I. Smirnov, A.V. Gromov, etc.). The semantic-stylistic, structural, functional features of some folklorisms reveal themselves in the synchronic and diachronic aspect, the texts by A.O. Ablesimov, V.I. Smirnov, A.V. Gromov. The existence of these folklorisms characterize most North Russian dialects, including the number of Kostroma.
