Therefore, social features of the informants whose speech was used as the material for compiling the Glossary were included in each entry. The Glossary comprises 1026 entries classified into 6 basic types: 1) pure lexical localisms accounting for 42,8% of the entries, 2) the ones emerging from alternative word-build patterns - 21,2%, 3) phraseological localisms - 16,2%, 4) semantic localisms - 10,5%, 5) phonetic localisms - 4,4%, 6) morphological localisms - 2,2%. In addition, 2,6% of the units were identified as localisms of mixed type. A considerable number of lexical localisms demonstrate high language creativity that is definitely a proof for high vitality of the Perm local urban accent of Russian.
