Nomenklature in the system of English medical terminography
Authors:   Zaporizhzhia State Medical University, Gordiyenko Olena
Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to the issues of LSP (language for specific purposes) lexicography in the field of medicine. Medical nomenclatures (MN), created in the framework of English medical terminography (EMT), are in the focus of the study as one of the first original reference works of EMT. The methodology of the study is comprehensive and includes the following methods: an analytical review of the literature, a bibliographic method for compiling a list of medical nomenclatures; a descriptive method of lexicographic analysis to characterize the parameters and structure of MN; the method of typological analysis was used to develop the principles of MN classification; the comparative analysis to summarize and conclude the results of the investigation. The use of historical and typological approach enabled to conduct a detailed analysis of extralinguistic and linguistic characteristics of the MN. A brief historical background on the formation and development of English medical reference works is given. Such MN as anatomical (Terminologia Anatomica), dental (Dental Terminology), embryological (Terminologia Embryologica) and histological (Terminologia Histologica) nomenclatures were under the study. A typological classification of MN is made by considering methods and approaches for the representation and explication of medical term. The following parameters as field of terms, method of term representing, type of definition, number of languages were studied. The main functions of the MN were identified and described, namely, the collection, the standardization, the systematization of medical terms and medical knowledge transfer. The results of the lexicographic analysis show that MN are factual reference works and perform almost all the basic functions of terminographic dictionary guides, with the exception of explicatory one, with a description of grammatical and orthoepic characteristics, codification of the polysemy of medical term and an illustration of its use in medical discourse. The comparative analysis of histological, dental and embryological nomenclatures revealed that they do not have significant differences at the level of mega- and microstructures in comparison with the anatomical ones. The studied nomenclatures were created using termographic tools and principles which were first applied for anatomical nomenclatures. The place and the role of MN, as a factual reference work, in the system of English medical terminography is determined. Perspective directions of the further research are outlined in the frame of the comprehensive study of terminological lexicography as a factor of the global scientific and technical space formation in the field of medicine.
The concept «reality» in John Berger’s essay about Vincent Van Gogh as an instrument of fine artworks interpretation
Authors:   Poltava V.G. Korolenko National Pedagogical University, Lunyova Tetyana
Published: March 2021

The article investigates the interpretative function of the concept REALITY in John Berger’s essay about Vincent van Gogh’s art by applying the methodology of cognitive linguistics. Following Nikolay N. Boldyrev, the interpretative function of the language is considered in the article as the third main linguistic function. The theoretical and methodological foundations of the study are further developed with the idea, which is expressed by several researchers (V. V. Feshchenko, Ye. A. Yelina, U. A. Zharkova), that discourse about art performs an interpretative role. The aim of the study is to reveal the linguo-cognitive mechanisms that enable the concept REALITY to operate as a means of interpretation of van Gogh’s art in Berger’s essay. The research has demonstrated that before the concept REALITY is applied to the analysis of van Gogh’s paintings and drawings, this concept is explicitly interpreted in the essay. The following linguo-cognitive mechanisms are employed to make the content of the concept REALITY clear to the reader: actualization of the commonly known sense «reality is opposed to imagination», critical discussion of this sense, introduction of the conceptual metaphor REALITY IS THE OBJECT THAT SHOULD BE SALVAGED, and actualization of the selected fragments of the philosophical world image as well as scholarly world image, especially the conception of art for art’s sake and the conceptual metaphor REALITY IS SOMETHING THAT LIES BEHIND THE SCREEN CREATED BY THE CULTURE. Thus, having been thoroughly interpreted in the essay, the concept REALITY is used as an instrument of the interpretation of van Gogh’s artistic principles and artworks. The following linguo-cognitive mechanisms support the concept REALITY in its interpretative function: applying the conceptual metaphor REALITY IS SOMETHING THAT LIES BEHIND THE SCREEN CREATED BY THE CULTURE to read van Gogh’s letters, using the conceptual metaphor REALITY IS THE OBJECT THAT SHOULD BE SALVAGED to analyse the facts from the painter’s life, introducing the conceptual metaphor REALITY IS THE CONSUMING ITSELF PHOENIX, actualizing of the concepts WORK and PRODUCTION as the key concepts in the artist’s world image, utilizing the concepts WORK and PRODUCTION to interpret several of van Gogh’s paintings, applying the actualized conception of art for art’s sake to reveal van Gogh’s artistic principles, constructing the conceptual metaphors VAN GOGH’S ART IS APPROACHING THE WORLD and VAN GOGH’S ARTISTIC REPRESENTATION OF REALITY IS DISSOLVING IN REALITY, and constructing the conceptual metaphor VAN GOGH’S PAINTINGS ARE LASERS.
Palimpsests of culture, or the creativity concept as self-creation in Valeriy Shevchuk's prose
Authors:   Mariupol State University, Horodniuk Nataliia
Published: March 2021

The article explores the creativity concept as self-creation in the context of the baroque idea of the artist-demiurge in prose by Valeriy Shevchuk. The writer’s creativity is seen as a postmodern palimpsest the various cultural fragments is «shining through»: numerous quotations, allusions, associations, «fragments» of other texts, concepts, signs, meanings and codes. The theme of creativity and formation of cultural in Valeriy Shevchuk's prose becomes the main subject of writer's musings. At that, this topic is not limited to the depiction of the psychology of the creator, but achieves the ontology and axiology of creativity generally, that is the philosophy of creative act as self-creative. And it is realized by the ways of the culture itself: endless borrowings and repeats, quotations and self-citations, allusions and reminiscences, doubling of the code, and using the structure of «text in text». So Shevchuk's prose appears as a «text of culture», a palimpsest. The author is a master of creating the illusion of cultural esotericism in his own texts. His work is a text iceberg, and it reads differently at different levels. An array of cultural allusions, signs, meanings, and associations never opens fully and thus gives the impression of secret writing, cryptotext of culture. Baroque, its ontology and axiology, aesthetics and poetics are the keys for reading for Shevchuk's texts. A number of Baroque concepts are through ones in the prose of the artist. It deduces that postmodernism of writer has the neo-Baroque essence. In particular, it is confirmed by the concept of creativity as self-creation and the idea of the artist-demiurge. Shevchuk explores a person's existence in culture, his or her existence in culture, the philosophy of creation and the psychology of perception of cultural values. His character is a «creative man» who emerges first of all as a subject of culture. According to Shevchuk, the only possible being is an existence in culture. The being outside of culture is impossible (in Shevchuk's model of world), because only through it the human life becomes meaningful. The origins of image of a «creative person» by Shevchuk arise out of the Baroque idea of the artist-demiurge, which is a well-founded alternative to the postmodern slogan «death of the author». The main motif that is manifested in most of Shevchuk's works is a semantic couple – a hero and a text. The last one must either be created or reproduced to self-define and achieve inner integrity, to comprehend own life and to fill it with meaning, to realize own complicity in cultural formation and in the sphere of the spiritual values, that is, to eternity. And the eternity is the higher purpose of man, which is an opposition to nothingness. This motif is analyzed in the novels «On a Humble Field», «The House on the Mountain», «The Path in the Grass», «Three Leaves behind the Window», «The Eye of the Chasm», and the tales «The Begginning of Horror», «To the Dragon's Jaws».
Comparative model of the world in A. Surov’s idiostyle
Authors:   Mykolaiv V.O. Sukhomlynskyi National University, Sadovaia Anna
Published: March 2021

The article deals with the comparative model of the world in A. Surov’s individual style, which demonstrates the dynamics of the author's thinking, his view of reality and his inner world. The poet’s typical comparative models have been revealed: with syntactic and morphological comparisons. The author’s typical syntactic indicators are conjunctions «kak» (as) and «slovno» (as if/as though); the morphological indicators are the comparative degree of adjectives and the instrumental (ablative) case. The semantic mechanisms of these units formation have been described. Constructions with the conjunction «kak» (as) contain comparisons of the relatively constant and non-constant qualities of adjectives in the full and short forms respectively, as well as of the actions, the completed and the incomplete processes, which are presented by the verb forms. Constructions with the conjunction «slovno» (as if/as though) demonstrate the comparison of real entities and processes with potentially real situations, reflecting the concept of the outside world, explaining the similarity that is perceived only by the author. Comparative units with the instrumental (ablative) case express comparisons and similarities in various actions. These two types of comparative constructions can also be repeated, stratified, and combined in one sentence in A. Surov's works. In constructions with an adjective in the comparative degree, the overall characteristic of the compared entities is irrelevant, since the comparison is made on the basis of focusing on the degree of the certain features manifestation. This is confirmed by the author's semantic explications. Components of all types of comparative constructions represent four donor and recipient conceptual spheres: «Man», «Abstraction», «Nature», and «Objects». The conceptual sphere «Man» has been proved to be the dominant recipient and donor conceptual sphere, which testifies A. Surov’s anthropocentric creativity. The conceptual sphere «Nature» is also widespread among the donor conceptual spheres. To sum up, comparativeness is a semantic category presenting the opposition of meanings which are expressed by linguistic means and perform a comparative function regardless of the environment. This category is widely represented in the semantic structure and figurative function of constructions within the poet’s works. The comparative model of the world is a reflection of A. Surov's individual style formation and ways of the individual author's worldview perception. The proposed research is prospective for understanding the semantic category of comparability and its explication as a comparative model of the world in a particular author’s individual style.
Intonation of male negative evaluative utterances in modern english dialogical speech
Authors:   Kyiv National Linguistic University, Tyshchenko Tetiana
Published: March 2021

The article deals with a gender-oriented experimental phonetic study of explicit male negative evaluative utterances in modern English everyday dialogical speech. The realization of the category of evaluation in speech is in the limelight of modern sociolinguistic research aimed at establishing the linguistic behaviour peculiarities and verbalization of roles, norms and values attributed to men and women by society. Evaluation is objectified in language units of lexical, phonetic, syntactic and discourse levels. Negative evaluative utterances verbalise the negative evaluation of the object that doesn’t meet the subject’s expectations according to certain criteria. On the basis of auditory and acoustic analyses prosodic markers of male negative rational and emotional evaluative utterances in communication between men and in communication with women of the same social status have been outlined: pitch pattern, loudness, tempo and pausation. Invariant prosodic features of male negative evaluative utterances in communication between representatives of the same and different sex but of the same social status have been established: mid level pre-head; descending stepping and mid level scales; mid, narrowed and wide ranges of intonation group; high and low falling terminal tones; falling and rising-falling pitch contour; moderate tempo; moderate loudness; sad and dramatic timbre; voice pitch frequency maximum on head and nucleus of the first or second intonation group; peak intensity on nucleus and the first rhythm group; minimal average syllable duration; small and average unfilled tentative reflective pauses. Variant prosodic features of the following male negative evaluative utterances have been distinguished: 1. Rational evaluative utterances in communication between men: level pitch contour; accelerated tempo; reduced loudness; peak intensity on another rhythm group than pre-head, head and nucleus; small unfilled and average filled tentative choice pauses; 2. Rational evaluative utterances in communication between men and women: ascending stepping scale; the Low Low-Rise and the Rise; falling-rising pitch contour; increased loudness; small unfilled tentative psychological pauses; short filled tentative reflective pauses; intemporal psychological pauses; 3. Emotional evaluative utterances in communication between men: increased and reduced loudness; peak intensity on another rhythm group than pre-head, head and nucleus; small unfilled tentative psychological pauses; intemporal psychological, choice and reflective pauses; 4. Emotional evaluative utterances in communication between men and women: ascending stepping scale; widened and narrow ranges of intonation group; the Low Low-Rise and the High Rise-Fall; short average syllable duration; small filled tentative choice pauses; average filled tentative reflective pauses.
Problems of the translation of italian humor in the ukrainian language in the movie «The Taming of the scoundrel»
Authors:   Mariupol State University, Tryfonova Hanna , Mirko Alona ,   Mariupol State University
Published: March 2021

The article explores the techniques of creating a humorous effect in the Italian film «The Taming of the Scoundrel», taking into account the audiovisual nature of the material under study. Modern approaches to defining the concept of humour in linguistics are examined and the main linguistic means of realization of humour are discussed, including contextual changes of lexical meanings of words, expletive constructions, rhetorical questions, accumulation of homogeneous terms, sentence, use of incompatible concepts, repetitions, contrasting comparisons, metaphors, black humour, hyperbole, grotesque synecdoche, antithesis etc. It was revealed that the humorous effect of the movie «The Taming of the Scoundrel» is based on a combination of two incompatible stereotyped images – residents of the Italian village and the city. The main method of humour creation was a combination of incompatible concepts and depictions of deviations from the norm (disrespect for a sick person, arrogant behaviour with a beautiful woman, rudeness towards a woman, secular nature of religion, when a monk trains the volleyball team, love and understanding towards animals and disrespect towards people). Special attention in the realization of humour is drawn to the visual elements, built on the principle of a combination of the inseparable, the deviation from the norm and hyperbolization. The dialogues show patterns of conversational style and simplicity of vocabulary and syntax, so they do not require the use of a variety of translation transformations. The article describes ways of translating Italian humour into Ukrainian and mechanisms for conservation the humorous effect. The vast majority of sentences are translated by literal translation. In some cases, lexical substitutions are used. For the most part, the humorous effect persists, except the case of translation of wordplay, realities, artistic comparisons. In some cases, the humorous effect could be conserved by choosing other translation strategies. The movie «The Taming of the Scoundrel» gained high popularity because of its simplicity of perception. Although Western humour differs from Eastern humour because of national cultural, socio-psychological differences, the humour in the movie «The Taming of the Scoundrel» is clear and understandable. The humorous effect is lost only in cases of linguistic or cultural identity of the phrases. However, the problem of creating a humorous effect in audiovisual contexts and its conservation in different cultural areas remains always urgent.
Verbal contour of the ‘CYBERSPACE’ concept in the modern english-language world’s picture
Authors:   Mariupol State University, Fedorova Yuliia , Voievodina Nina ,   Mariupol State University
Published: March 2021

The article explores word innovations in modern English in the sphere of cyberspace. Such subgroups as INTERNET, E-MAIL, DATA, SOCIAL NETWORKING, PROGRAMMING AND SOFTWARE, HACKING AND HACKERS, IT-TECHNOLOGIES are considered as parts of the suggested concept. But it should be pointed out that three subgroups of the mentioned concept: INTERNET, E-MAIL, DATA are investigated as the representative ones. Beginning with studies that have gradually emerged as linguocultural studies, linguists have chosen the notion of the linguistic picture of the world as central to describing a complex and multidimensional mechanism of reflection in the language of reality and consciousness. Gradually, it became clear that the linguistic picture of the world is a multilayered entity and embraces verbalized frames, concepts, stereotypes, customs, rituals and values. The concepts themselves, frames, belong to the conceptual picture of the world or the concept sphere. The conceptual picture of the world is at the heart of the linguistic picture of the world, it is a more universal concept. The linguistic picture of the world is created in the nomination process, it is a key component of national culture. The basic elements of the linguistic picture of the world are verbalized universals and nominations denoting national-specific concepts. Universal and nationally labeled concepts can be verbalized in both individual words and idiomatic units. In the context of our research, we aimed to describe key concepts as part of the conceptosphere of modern British society, namely the 'CYBERSPACE' concept. The main value concepts were selected as a result of the analysis of non-fiction, including newspapers and magazines in print and electronic. The UK is a multinational country, but the study did not take into account the values of the individual national groups that make up the British nation, because it was interesting to explore the value concepts shared by the majority in the country and help reflect the most common features of the British national mentality. The development of society, economy, expansion of spheres of activity and sources of profit influenced the lexical formulation of concepts. The concept of 'CYBERSPACE' is represented by the following sub-groups: INTERNET, E-MAIL, DATA, SOCIAL NETWORKING, PROGRAMMING AND SOFTWARE, HACKING AND HACKERS, IT-TECHNOLOGIES. It is well known that modern society has existed in the age of IT-technologies, so the emergence of such a concept as 'CYBERSPACE' may be explained by the fact that the information revolution in the early 21st century continued to be the most influential factor in the processes of replenishing the English vocabulary. The «Internet» of society, in particular, is associated with the largest number of vocabulary and phraseological innovations of recent times.

Published: March 2021

The article deals with the religious concepts found in modern Greek, English and Ukrainian proverbs (paremias). The relevance of this research is due to the fact that it identifies similarities and differences of this concept concludes different ethnic groups. They are verbalized not only and not so much in language codes, but in memory of the historical extent of their existence. The results of the analysis of common and distinctive features in three languages are illustrated on the example of the religious concept «Бог / Θεός / God». The religious concepts occupy a special place among cultural concepts. They are a reflection of human mentality, because they permeate all spheres of life. The religious concept is characterized as a multidimensional mystical-semiotical and axeological formation within three major contexts – spiritual world-outlook, cultural history, and linguistic semiotics. The concept БОГ / ΘΕΟΣ / GOD finds its implementation in proverbs, which points to its significant role of everyday life of the Greek, English and Ukrainian-speaking communities. The concept «God» is the basic cultural concept. The Christians believe that God is something unrecognizable and mysterious, and He absorbs the idea of soul, eternal life, kindness, openness and sincerity. Indeed, people in everyday communication use some proverbs and sayings marked by religious concepts. The ideological groups of the concept БОГ / ΘΕΟΣ / GOD were formed on the basis of a continuous sample. The most interesting way is to trace the transformations of certain concepts of culture, which from different perspectives can be considered the key components of the mental peculiarity of the people in one or another historical period. We found some definitions of this concept such as: 1) Owner; 2) Almighty Power; 3) Help; 4) Fair punishment.

The image of mother in Mykhailo Tkach’s songs
Authors:   Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Hutsuliak Svitlana
Published: March 2021

M. Tkach is seen as a poet with a lyrical type of worldview, with a lyrical voice that remained unchanged even after political transformations. His literary heritage contains the big layer of wonderful intimate poems, some of which became songs and even folk songs. The book «Song for you» which could be called M. Tkach’s swan song (it was published in 2002, to the poet's 70th birthday) represents pretty accurate his entire song poetry in its thematic and image variety. This book includes patriotic and intimate lyrics, and love songs make the major part of the second group. But there is the one more part which claims to have a separate significant place within intimate lyrics. We mean the songs about mother. The purpose of this article is to analyse them. The characteristic features of M. Tkach’s image of mother (such as sacrality, melancholy, didactism, etc.) are highlighted in this article and it is also proved that the image of mother is the axis of rotation of so-called «mother’s world» – one of the main concepts of M. Tkach’s poetry. M. Tkach traced the origins of the idea of Ukrainian patriotism from parents’ house. But it must be noted that the image of father is rare in M. Tkach’s poetry, as well as the generalized image of parents, in contrast to the image of the parents’ doorstep, for example. All the life ways lead Tkach’s lyrical hero from home, in other words – from mother (the images of home and mother are often superimposed), or back home, into mother’s world. The «mother’s world» metaphor is poet’s true imaginative achievement. It is hard to find more appropriate image to describe the completeness of patriotic feelings of lyrical hero. On the one hand, the poet often compares Ukraine with mother, on the other – mother is the most important part of the inner life of lyrical hero. This part is in the centre, the most precious memories of lyrical hero (of his native village and his childhood) are structured around it. They are mother-centred, so the lullaby is called mother’s and the house is called mother’s and the well too. M. Tkach presents the native land as the place unique in different meanings (geographical, cultural, personal, etc.). In such a way he talks about mother, what is emphasized by using the construction «only mother» and others like that. But the main thing we must admit is the uniqueness of M. Tkach’s songs about mother as the literary and musical phenomenon.
Quasi-scientific second hand of contemporary literary studies: the strategies of falsification and plagiarism
Authors:   Drohobych Ivan Franko State Pedagogical University, Durkalevych Viktoriya
Published: March 2021

The article examines the specifics of constitution and modification of self-depicted and self-reflective activity as a separate type of cultural practice which is called to monitor and correct the literary studies process at theoretical and methodological levels as well as at value and ethical levels. The author demonstrates, with the help of the case study, the destructive coming into the field of cultural production. Ukrainian meta-literary studies are formed as intellectual, further – cultural, practice with its specific tasks (analytical and descriptive, comparative and combinational, correctional and observational), functions (the creation of the cultural meaning and the encouragement of its circulation at the scientific field, the animation of critical self-reflection, the creation of community which shares common values connected with the field of high quality cultural production) and strategies (canonization, recanonization and decanonization, contextualization, mapping). The analysis of meta-descriptive practices has shown that from the very beginning of the 2000th the noticeable turn from theory and methodology to ethic and axiology has taken place, and the activation of appeal and preventive strategies has been observed. These appeal-preventive strategies are targeted at increasing of intolerance to scientific dishonesty sensitivity threshold. The obtained results of the case study, on the one hand, point to a diversity and systematic character of quasi-scientific kitsch production «techniques». On the other hand, they make one think about the constitutional and functional peculiarities of not invited identity (in the Weber sense). Then the question arises: whether the permanent neuroticism and hidden implosion are the possible side effects of the scientific creativity game. Therefore, cynicism of falsification-plagiarism practices can be considered as the result of one’s certainty of the support from the community, which tolerates quasi-scientific second-hand as well as a distinctive defensive strategy against the threat of non-recognition by the community, guided by the values of scientific virtue. In this paper the fundamental role of S. Pavlychko’s issue «The methodological situation in contemporary Ukrainian literary studies» has been underlined. The author states that all subsequent issues in the field of Ukrainian postcolonial literary and meta-literary studies directly or indirectly refer to the main points contained in S. Pavlychko’s texts. This prominent researcher underlined the impossibility of non-theoretical status of literary criticism research papers.
Art features of the Y. Smolych's novel «the Last Edgewood» as the first ukrainian «action»
Authors:   Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology, Kulakevych Lyudmyla
Published: March 2021

The scientific development of the term «action» has been investigated and its clarified definition has been suggested in the article. The genre features of Y. Smolych's novel which allow to classify this work as the first Ukrainian action have been analyzed: the protagonist performs an important mission, his doings include, first of all, fleeing, chasing, hiding, searching and stealing; there is a strict time limit that forces the characters to be extremely active. Because of accentuation of the action plan, the protagonist's character is the most schematic and devoid of personality, which in general was a trait of both western and action, which developed primarily as genres of silent cinema, when scripts were created under specific actors. It has been emphasized that the Superman features are clearly showed in the protagonist's character – he drives a motorcycle, an airplane, speaks European languages, knows radio technologies and secret encryption, but in the novel, there is no mention of his physical strength, he does not enter into any fight. The fact that the novel describes exactly the moments of active action of the characters creates a sense of special time density of events, which is a traditional genre-defining trait of the action. The events of the novel resemble modern American movies: heroes seize cars, armed with browning and masked break into the recording studio in search of a microphone, later capture ATS and close the tied security guard in the restroom, etc. In accordance with the action's aesthetics, the development of events in the novel by Y. Smolych is constantly complicated, the hero has to overcome incredible obstacles, the cliffhanger is used repeatedly. It has been pointed out that via the novel «The Last Edgewood» Y. Smolych introduces into Ukrainian literature the new topos – the subway tunnels. It has been emphasized that in the peripeteia built by Y. Smolych (it is impossible to kill the enemy simply, but it can be overcome by finding his vulnerable place) the archetypal plot is viewed clearly, which is traced in the tale about Koshchiy the Immortal. It has been stated that taking into account the time of the creation of the novel (1925) and the evolution of action as a genre of cinema, Y. Smolych could not adhere to the genre's canon, because it had not existed yet, so the writer independently developed artistic techniques that are now considered canonical for the genre mentioned.

Authors:   Kremenchuk Pedagogical College named after Anton Makarenko, Novodvorchuk Olha
Published: March 2021

The article deals with the consideration of lexical and stylistic features of poems for children of the modern writer O. Mamchych. The study contains a selective analysis of the poetry of the writer, which reveals the peculiarities of modeling the poetry of different genres (in the form of small folklore genres and contemporary lyrics), the use of a mix of traditional and contemporary images, allusions to the works of oral folk art and works of classical literature for children. The article covers the plot, thematic and ideological content of poetry. The author analyzes the peculiarities of the sound organization of poetic speech by O. Mamchych, the linguistic and stylistic instruments of the artist. The writer finds the right rhymes, builds the original soundtrack of the poem using the play of sounds. Most of the writer's works are full of alliteration, sensations, anaphors and epiphora. Such verbal music fascinates the reader. The lexical means of expressing the poetry language of O. Mamchych reflect the moods of the modern world, modern Ukraine and the child of the future. The writer uses colloquial vocabulary, novelties and historicisms in her composition. The poem «Kozak» perfectly illustrates O. Mamchych's ability to use historicism and colloquial vocabulary. The author basing on the traditions and history of the Ukrainian people builds a lively story about a little boy, a Cossack, who fights with foreigners. The linguistic features of the poetry of the writer reveal her artistic skill. Bright epithets, metaphors, comparisons convey all the beauty of the poetic word of Olesya Mamchych to the reader. The artistic word of the writer is to move the reader, to influence on his feelings, to encourage him to be kinder, to study the history and culture of the Ukrainian people, and to keep up with the times. The work of O. Mamchych is constantly in harmony with the past and the present. It relies on traditional artistic images to create new ones. The writer opens familiar images in a new way in many compositions. The master of the poetic word builds an invisible bridge of understanding between the reader and the author by the allusions to the works of oral folk art and works of classical literature for children. The article gives the confirmation that O. Mamchych's poetry is not only aesthetic, but also linguo-didactic, because it contributes to the linguistic formation (lexical, phonetic and grammatical) and speech competences (artistic speech, cognitive speech, emotional) of a child. The research gives an opportunity to understand the model of the O. Mamchych world, to find out the basic mechanisms of the 21st century poetry image formation for preschool children.
The image of the ukrainian orthodox priest in the literary works of Liubov Vasyliv-Baziuk

The article explores the image of the Ukrainian orthodox priest of the beginning – middle of the 20th century by analyzing the literary works of Liubov Vasyliv-Baziuk, a contemporary Canadian writer of the Ukrainian origin. Liubov Vasyliv-Baziuk was born and brought up in Western Ukraine in the family of an orthodox priest. For this reason the idea of love for the Ukrainian church, which has been plundered and destroyed for centuries is one of the leading in the authoress’ works. The struggle of the Orthodox Church for the right to exist, establish, and expand itself on the Ukrainian lands fills Vasyliv-Baziuk’s creative heritage. Living amidst high morality principles, surrounded by sacred literature as well as priests, bishops, and metropolitans, Vasyliv-Baziuk couldn’t help absorbing the most precious and valuable from the spiritually close people. Her father was an example of sacrificial love, devoted service to God and people, and readiness for self-abnegation for the sake of his neighbor. It is because of this that the Orthodox priest is depicted in Vasyliv-Baziuk’s books as a completely positive character and is represented through a set of chronological events in the way the authoress perceives them. The created image of a Ukrainian priest is collective; it is not based on one character, rather on several. It is composed of features of priest Yosyp, Liubov’s father, Archimandrite Serafym, her grandfather, who took monastic vows after his wife’s death, priest Vasyl Varvariv, her uncle, priests Hlib and Marko, Metropolitan Ilarion, and others, who appear on the pages of the books «They served Church and the Ukrainian people», «In the whirl of the totalitarian regimes», and «The roads of life». The wholeness of a character is designed as a totality of its constituents which in their turn represent everyday life of the character, his social activity, inner world etc. After a thorough analysis of the works by Liubov Vasyliv-Baziuk we have come to a conclusion that the image of the priest is composed of the following constituents: parish priest, priest-confessor, priest-prayer, priest-educator, priest-parent, priest-patriot, priest-diplomat, priest-opinion leader, and priest-manager. Each constituent has been described in the article and confirmed by citations from the literary works. Not all the characters of the priests whom we come across in the books possess all the above components, but collectively they create an integral image of the priest. The authoress succeeds in reaching the objective portrayal of the then clergy’s life and creating in the readers’ minds an ideal image of the Ukrainian Orthodox priest, who has an educational potential and can be a worthy example to follow.
Translating selves of Mykola Dmytrenko
Authors:   Mariupol State University, Pavlenko Olena
Published: March 2021

This paper reflects on the key issues of literary translation approaches suggested by Mykola Dmytrenko, an outstanding Ukrainian prose translator. Despite the vast research made by Ukrainian and foreign scholars regarding the translation (A. Bennet, S. Bassnet, M. Strykha) little is known about the contribution made by Ukrainian translators to the promotion of the Ukrainian literature on the international arena. Mykola Dmytrenko’s original arguments coming from value-based interview questions reveal the nature of translating process in terms of cultural transfer with a special emphasis on the literary standards and the distinctive nature of translation paradigm. As many translation theorists and researchers claim, there has been an accepted recognition of the fact that the use of the strategies and techniques of contemporary linguistics shift away to cultural studies. This article attempts to outline the scope of translation as a process by syndicating various extralinguistic phenomena as they occur in Mykola Dmytrenko’s translation project. Firstly, his translation programme embraces the issues of self with their close relation to the problems of cultural identity and the ones connected with tracing the target text within its new sociocultural context. Secondly, Mykola Dmytrenko’s translations provide his exceptional position in developing general principles through which he adequately clarifies the algorithm of choosing literary texts for translation and sheds light on the author selection as well as the ways literary translation networks function in a number of respects. Furthermore, the translator aims his works to be viewed in a broader context of building up the relations with the author of the original on the equal basis so that the target reader would feel he deals with the original text, not with the translation. With this purpose, Mykola Dmytrenko claims that he not only aspires to getting Ukrainian readers acquainted with the masterpieces of world literature, but also aims to develop the ability of cultivating their deductive skills as well as sharpening observation and forming the power of imagination. These explicate the reasons for the translator’s selection of literary texts by A. C. Doyle («A Scandal in Bohemia», «The Red-headed League», «A Case of Identity», «Boscombe Valley Mystery», «Thе Five Orange Pips», etc.). All these have been illustrated by the examples from A. Conan Doyle’s collection of detective stories «The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes» («The Reigate Puzzle»). So, the translator’s pragmatic view comes to be both from an inborn talent and a professional skill to produce the target text of the highest quality.
Bible motifs in the novel «V.I.N.» by Valentyn Terletsky
Authors:   Zaporizhzhia National University, Stasyk Mykola
Published: March 2021

The article examines the text-forming role of biblical images-symbols in Valentyn Terletsky's novel «V.I.N.». The analysis of the text reveals the peculiarities of the poetics, the creative personality of the author. It is stated that the writer actively uses biblical symbols and motifs in his novel that allow him to go beyond the scope of the investigative detective. The presence of Christian motifs in the work increases the number of possible interpretations, enables to depart from its literal explanation and gives the reader the opportunity to speculate events. The very title of the work contains hints of biblical parallels. In this way, the author creates a multidimensional space in which reality receives philosophical and religious reflection. Numbered symbols, which are endowed with biblical semantic connotations, also contribute to this. The article focuses on the fact that the life of the characters of the novel is «related» to such numbers as ten (the symbol of the beginning and the end of the case), forty (related to the completeness of the trials, a turning point in human life) and more. Special attention is drawn to the main character's sleep. It is known that dreaming is a technique often used in fiction. Sleep becomes a source of thoughts and analogies. It contributes to the decoding of the novel and the use of such a symbol as a circle that most readers perceive as an element that has magical protective content. In the novel this symbol is polysemantic, and the characters try to break the circle in order to «find» themselves, to play their vital role. It is stated that the work can draw clear parallels between the protagonist of the novel (He) and Jesus Christ, but such a comparison is rather conditional, since the focus of the writer is not «action», but the spiritual beginning of his characters. The use of biblical allusions in the novel enhances the meaning of the story. It helps to understand the characters who are trying to find themselves, to understand themselves, to believe in themselves. The investigation into the disappearance of the main character leads to an unexpected open finale, where everyone has a chance to be «reborn» to become themselves. It can be stated that the use of biblical symbols and motifs by the writer is characterized by freedom and flexibility. The biblical images in the work are ambivalent. In the novel «V.I.N.», Valentyn Terletsky abstracts biblical motifs and images from their theological understanding, that makes them universal. This enables to reveal writer's interest in Christianity solely as an aesthetic concept.

Authors:   H.S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University, Bielinska Valeriia
Published: March 2021

The present paper is aimed to analyse some individual traditional and modern features of the linguistic thinking of the Ukrainian poet A. Kychinskyi. Among the specific tasks of the study are the identification of motives and circumstances of the formation of the poetic LPW, the definition of intimate lyrics, the analysis of techniques of authorial verification, innovative searches and achievements in the creation of phraseologies and metaphorical constructions. The features of the A. Kychinskyi's individual linguistic style are analyzed in accordance with the peculiarities of the spiritual perception by the poet of the surrounding reality, some innovative features of the author's verification are revealed, as well as the search and achievements in the creation of phraseological and metaphorical constructions. It is concluded that the poet of «two centuries» combines in the best way both the traditional features of the ethnic linguistic picture of the world, and innovative achievements in the conditions of rapid development of the world. A. Kychinskyi is a poet of «two centuries» not purely formally but as their representative, because of his active creative activity both in the conditions of the Soviet system and in the conditions of independent Ukraine with corresponding perceptual orientations and motives. In A. Kychinskyi's works both the traditional features of the ethnic linguistic picture of the world and innovative achievements in the conditions of fast-paced development of the world are best revealed and combined. Among the first are the metaphorical analyzes of the landscape description (including its visual and audio ones), the signs of intimate and sacral sensations and the poetic nature of its poetry. The landscape description, the visual and audio aspects are combined to create a generally expressive picture. Between the traditional and non-traditional thematic issues we can define the transcendental and the sacral, which is presented in the landscape descriptions of A. Kychinskyi. Among innovative there is the situational use of original techniques of versification and stylistic figures. The poetical experiments involve word play, originality of verse, verbal innovations in particular, including authorial phraseologisms. Signs of unconventionality and modernity exist in individual versification, poetry and stylistic techniques, which generally do not change the individual linguistic style, adding to it only new, modern colors. Appropriate stylistic figures, features of versification and a complex of cinematic features of A. Kychinskyi's poetic language create expression of his landscape descriptions. All this enhances the artist's expressiveness and gives them sincerity and frankness.
The jewish theme in the literary works of Denys Lukiyanovych
Authors:   Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Shmorlivska Liliya
Published: March 2021

The article deals with the early works of Denys Lukiyanovych (1873–1965) on Jewish subjects in the aspect of genre-style specificity and in the context of the history of Ukrainian literature of the late 19th – early 20th centuries. The key images and motives of the works, their problems, plot-compositional, linguistic and artistic features, marked by modernity, the tendency to impressionism, combined with a realistic vision of reality, are analyzed. It is proved that D. Lukiyanovych's early prose is characterized by colourful artistic time, multifaceted compositional construction, variety of plot elements (artistic precursions, decorations, etc.), layers of one event to another, and a vivid impressionistic manner. Nevertheless, the writer was able to create a true picture of life with clear realistic features, saturated with elements of naturalism, but not devoid of deep psychological content. Humanism and internationalism, author’s sincere compassion for the ordinary man are manifested in D. Lukiyanovych's literary works. In his early prose some important antipodes emerge, i.e. the «little man» and the «social order», which perhaps most succinctly convey the acute social conflict. Particular attention was also paid to Lukiyanovych's «Jewish people», who exemplify the assertion of high moral qualities that do not depend on nationality, because these traits are inherent by nature. It is the inner, mental reflections that prevail in such authorial images, though there is no complete blurring of the boundaries of the rational and irrational world. Such an interpretation by D. Lukiyanovych of the Jewish theme was a contrast almost to everything written in our literature about Jews before. The original focus is on some human issues: the injustice of power in the treatment of the ordinary man, bureaucracy of the state machine, the class division in a society, often the imbalance of urban lifestyles, which has its own rules, the possibility of discrepancy between the appearance of the individual and his inner consciousness, kindness among people, inability of the followers to enjoy their social rights and freedoms. It is noteworthy that D. Lukiyanovych doesn’t put the problem of the disadvantage of the Jewish people as such at the center of his works, but nevertheless the author focuses more on the «individual» misfortune of each particular person.
