The study of the lexical composition of each language is not only interesting for specialists and the general public, but also important for society, as it indicates the language's ability to create new things, reveals its potential and significance for the people. The author brings back from oblivion another part of our linguistic wealth, describing the vocabulary of the Western Ukrainian variant of the literary language of the interwar period, which developed at that time in Galicia and, in particular, in its center - the city of Lviv. This dialect was alive, full-fledged and multifunctional. The book singles out the social dialects that functioned in Lviv in the interwar period, in particular the jargons of schoolchildren and athletes. Special attention is paid to balak, which became a linguistic feature of the Batyar subculture, which in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century reached its peak. It also illustrates the specifics of the Soviet language policy, which was aimed at restricting the use of Western Ukrainian vocabulary in order to artificially bring the Ukrainian language closer to Russian. It is shown how modern writers, striving to eliminate the consequences of the Russification policy, update the Western Ukrainian vocabulary, which enriches the lexical composition of the national language. The publication is intended for a wide range of readers - philologists, historians, ethnographers and all those who are interested in the history of the formation of the Ukrainian literary language and its diversity.
