Abstract [eng] The aim of this article is to highlight the parameters denoting the vitality level of lin- guistic and cultural identity of one dialectal community (namely, the Northern Samogi- tians of Kretinga) under the circumstances of increasing globalization and diglossia. In accordance with the theoretical concept of geolinguistics as a dynamic dialectology, the do- main classification proposed by Anton M. Hagen and the empirical material issues denoting sociocultural identity of the subdialect are presented. The vitality and sociocultural distinc- tion of the dialectal area is being sustained by various factors, three of which have the most important role: sufficiently developed infrastructure, dialect use and attitudes based on the value system of users of the dialect.
