The paper presents dialect expressions connected with the semantic field human body collected for the Slovene Linguistic A tlas ( SLA). The problematic nature and changeability of the questionnaire for the SLA and the diversity of the material that has been gathered for this project over the last sixty years are shown. The method used for the linguistic analysis of the material and the way it is shown on the language map is illustrated with the material for question SLA VO38 zanohtnica (whitlow).

The article discusses the delimitation criteria between Slovene dialects, which are of a genetic as well as a structural nature and are complementary combined. If the idioms match with regard to genetic criteria, structural criteria are decisive, but if thay share structural criteria, the genetic criteria apply. The described approach takes into account the factual geo-linguistic reality of the language continuum in question, balancing genetic and structural criteria. The horizontal dialect classification has to consider the phenomena of transitional areas and dialect islands.
