The paper examines the possibilities for an analysis of text types used in everyday conversation in local dialects: storytelling (narrative, anecdote, recounting, exemplum), observation / comment, opinion, gossip, joke-telling, teasing and chat. It presents the structure of each of the text types, as exemplified by actual texts from the collected dialectological material. The author discusses the possibilities for further analysis and comparison of text types, and suggests possible ways of using these findings in applied linguistics.
