FUNCTION-SEMANTIC MICROSPHERE OF COLOR NAMES IN DIALECTAL TEXTS
type: item
description: Introduction. The investigation is actual since the verbalized colors in various native speakers as well as dialectal groups is still under analysis. The applied text centric approach has proved to enable revealing the repertoire of lexical units for the function-semantic microsphere of color names, their semantic and functional features and specific ethnic national character. The purpose. The purpose of the article is to distinguish the language variant of the functionsemantic microsphere for color names in dialectal texts of the Mid Upper Dnieper patois. It therefore was to present its elements, their semantics and functioning in speech of the dialect speakers, as well as single out the specificity of color names usage. The methods. Research methods: total selection method, descriptive with elements of system analysis, component and contextual analysis, quantitative calculations. Main results of the study. The study resulted in presenting color names repertoire in dialectal texts of Mid Upper Dnieper patois, their usage frequency and quantitative correlation in all major lexical grammatical classes representing colors. The color microsphere proved to represent basic non-derivative color units (|б˙iлий,|чорний, чир|воний, зи|лений, |жовтий, |син’ій, голу|бий, ру|дий) related to the nucleus of the Ukrainian color concept. The periphery is shaped by subsidiary color names, color shades names and nominations for the multi colored notions found rarely in the dialectal texts. Mostly used color names are qualitative adjectives with typical inter-level (morphological, syntactical, word-building) categories. Less frequent are their verb derivatives and nouns, rarely adverbs and predicatives. Color microsphere nucleus is singled out in the mentioned patois: the adjectives білий, червоний and чорний are used to represent colors that are specific for Mid Upper Dnieper ethnic group and are employed in their embroidery samples as reflections of ancient outlook positions.

ON THE VOCALISM OF THE NORTH PODLASIE DIALECT OF KANIUKY VILLAGE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE POLISH – EASTERN SLAVIC BORDERLAND
type: item
description: Introduction. The study is devoted to the analysis of the main features of the vocalic system of the Ukrainian dialect of the village of Kaniuky in Northern Podlasie, Poland. A specific feature of the dialect’s location is that the Belarusian dialectal area begins to the north of it, while Polish dialects are found further to the west, which may potentially influence the structure of Kaniuky phonetic system. The purpose of the study is to analyze the reflexes of the Proto-Slavic vowels *ě, *e, *o, and *ę in the Kaniuky dialect; to typologize the vocalic features of the Kaniuky dialect that shape its distinctive phonetic profile as a borderland variety; to determine the dynamics of the sound inventory on the basis of earlier linguistic studies; and to interpret the dialectal features from an areal perspective, with particular attention to the influence of other contact idioms – namely, Belarusian dialects and the Polish language. Originality. The material for the analysis was recorded in May 2023 during a dialectological expedition to Northern Podlasie. No earlier materials from the dialect under study have yet been identified, which increases the value of these dialect recordings from this region as a source of linguistic insight. For comparative purposes, linguogeographical sources were used, in particular Kurashkevych’s maps and studies, the AGWB, as well as data from dialects neighboring Kaniuky. Main results of the study. The phonetic features are interpreted from an areal perspective, with attention to their continuity in other Ukrainian dialects – particularly those of Northern Podlasie – as well as within the Belarusian and Polish continuum; on the basis of available linguistic sources, the dynamics of the features of the dialect under study are analyzed. The analysis provides grounds to argue for the stability of the phonetic features and the Ukrainian character of the dialect, as well as its affiliation with the Northern Ukrainian dialectal group, since mos…

FOLK TOPOGRAPHIC NAMES ON A DIALECT BACKGROUND
type: item
description: Introduction. The need to study local onyms is due to both linguistic factors (in the process of historical development, some names disappear, they are replaced by new ones, others change their form), and extralinguistic factors. Despite the significant achievements of Ukrainian onomastics, microtoponymy as a subsystem of the proper vocabulary remains fragmentarily studied. The study of topographic names of the Shpolyanska community as a component of the Cherkasy region is scientifically justified and necessary, due to filling regional gaps in Ukrainian onomastics, deepens the identification of the regularities of the formation and functioning of microtoponyms and at the same time serves as a source of reconstruction of the linguistic, historical and cultural memory of the local community. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to represent the repertoire of microtoponyms attested in the dialects of the Shpolyanska community of the Zvenyhorod district of the Cherkasy region, to present models of the creation of terrain names, to clarify the specifics of their nomination and the semantics of the motivational bases, as well as the reflection of dialectal features in the analysed linguistic units. Methods. The work uses the field method (fixation of microtoponyms in the live speech of speakers of the dialects). The collected material is inventoried, systematized and classified using the descriptive method. Structural-word-formation and semantic-motivational analysis are used to determine the formal types of microtoponyms, methods of nomination and to clarify the motives for creating appellation, vidonymic and vidanthroponymic names. Main results of the study. The research analysed the formal structure, motives, methods, and means of nominating microtoponyms, determined by the natural features of objects, the peculiarities of the population's economic activity, and anthroponymic factors. Following the semantics of the motivational bases, vidonymic and vidappellative mic…

MECHANISMS OF FORMATION AND DECONSTRUCTION OF THE “HORIZON OF EXPECTATIONS” IN MODERN ONOMASTICS
type: item
description: Introduction. The article addresses the fundamental transformation of the proper name (ideonym, anthroponym, toponym) within the contemporary cultural paradigm of metamodernism. In the current communicative discourse, the proper name has evolved from a static identifier and nominative unit into a complex tool for intellectual play, manipulation, and recoding of the recipient's perception. This shift necessitates a revision of traditional onomastic categories through the lens of reception aesthetics. Purpose. The primary aim of the research is to identify the specific functioning of the proper name as a boundary construct operating at the intersection of nomination, text, and discourse. The study seeks to define the concept of the “onymic horizon of expectations” (adapted from H. R. Jauss) and to systematize the linguo-pragmatic mechanisms of its deconstruction – ranging from semantic shifts to glitch effects. Methods. The study employs a complex methodology combining structural-semiotic analysis to identify the internal hierarchy of the onym, discursive analysis to study the pragmatics of the name in the context of digital culture, and elements of reception aesthetics to model the reader’s reaction to the onymic anomaly. The empirical basis includes titles and names from modern Ukrainian literature (works by Yurii Izdryk, Yurii Andrukhovych), translations of experimental prose (Mark Z. Danielewski) and contemporary cinema. Results. The research reveals that the deconstruction of the onymic norm is not chaotic but occurs on three systemic levels corresponding to the boundary nature of the name. Deconstruction of the text boundary (visual-graphic glitch): The study analyzes the disruption of the graphic code through technomorphism. Examples such as “AM™”, and Yurii Izdryk’s works “Flash Drive. Defragmentation” and “Flash Drive-2GB” demonstrate the transformation of a literary title into a visual object or technical interface, forcing the reader to decode the name as a…

WORD FORMATION MEANS AND TEXT CATEGORIES: LINGUISTIC CREATIVITY RELATIONSHIP
type: item
description: Introduction. Word formation devices, when duplicated within the structure of nominative units, function as productive means of realizing textual categories. They ensure the pragmatic orientation of the text and accentuate the axiological characteristics of what is represented. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the word formation means of the Ukrainian language that participate productively in the realization of textual categories, taking into account semiotic mechanisms that involve the cognitive projection of semantics, as well as to clarify their functions in the text as syntactics and their orientation toward interpreters as pragmatics. Results. The results of the research conducted in this article outline the means of word formation that contribute to the formation of the subjective modality of the text. It is established that word building units are differently involved in textual creation. Elementary word formation units formants and creative roots perform the textual-oriented function only as part of word formation structures of derivative words. The creative nature of the word formation process is mediated by cognitive operational mechanisms of motivation, projected onto the functional determination of linguistic units within the text. The nominative saturation of a text facilitates its comprehension and interpretation by the addressee and interacts with a multidimensional informational space. The general laws of constructing a text of a particular genre and style predetermine the creativity of word formation. The presentation of information in a text is to a large extent connected with the paradoxical nature of the motivator kovbasa (‘sausage’), which, in the course of the cultural and historical development of the Ukrainian ethnos and against the background of significant social changes, has acquired new ontological properties. Originality. The word forming functions of the series of derivatives of one word-buil…

POLITICAL LINGUOPERSONOLOGY: A RECEPTIVE MODEL OF “SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE THROUGH THE LENS OF AN AUTHORIAL CONCEPTION OF A SPECIFIC DISCURSIVE-TEXTUAL SPACE”
type: item
description: Introduction. This article examines a particular authorial conception of political linguopersonology as an integral component of the syncretic discipline of linguopersonology, whose methodological foundations are shaped by social, linguocultural, linguophilosophical, and lingual-political factors structured through systemic – hierarchical relations. The conception is constructed on the basis of the discursive-textual space of the prominent Ukrainian political thinker Dmytro Dontsov. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to characterize, from extra- and intralingual axiological perspectives, the author’s individual conception of political linguopersonology and the phenomenon of D. Dontsov’s political linguistic personality. These are distinguished, on the one hand, by the specificity of their methodological foundations and speech practices, and, on the other, by a concrete representational model grounded in the existential, cognitive-axiological, and linguocreative dimensions of the discursivetextual space of D. Dontsov as an elite political linguistic personality. Methods. Achievement of this aim was facilitated by a range of general scholarly and specialized linguistic methods: induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, axiological and comparative approaches, the linguopsychobiographical method, contextual – interpretative analysis, and formalization. Taken together in hierarchical unity, these methods provided a reliable foundation for shaping, presenting, and objectively assessing the authorial conception of political linguopersonology and the political linguoperson. Results. The study focuses primarily on characterizing the author’s model for interpreting the speech practices and type of language – thinking of the Ukrainian political figure D.Dontsov. The research confirms the relevance of applying existential pragmatics, cognitive-axiological, and creative–figurative approaches, each retaining its constitutive autonomy while, in combination, they convincin…

STRUCTURAL AND SEMANTIC FEATURES OF NATIONALLY MARKED NOUN NEOLOGISMS IN TARAS MELNYCHUK’S POETRY
type: item
description: Introduction. To form modern national-cultural identity discourse under the conditions of existential struggle, relevant are linguopoetic studies dealing with the such features of author’s linguistic mind which have comprehensive national-cultural marking. Purpose: To analyse, basing on the structural-semantic analysis of the author’s individual nationally marked substantive composite words, the folklore roots of the author’s linguistic mind as a sign of an original individual style. Originality: The scientific novelty of the research results is that it is the first study of structural and semantic features of stem-composition noun neologisms in Taras Melnychuk’s poetic texts. The work also decodes deep senses of the images belonging to national-cultural dominants. Results: It is observed that original ethno-marked neologisms in the poet’s language are a group of substantive composites formed according to the ‘noun + noun’ word-building type, where an interfix serves as a formal sign. In the poet’s language, such neolexemes are mostly occasional nature at both the derivational and semantic levels, thus requiring special decoding to determine deep senses. The study identified a productive word-building type of stem-composition – ‘noun + noun + suffix’ – characterised by imbuing negatively connoted images with diminutive meaning. This represents a powerful emotional-psychological technique contributing to the synthesis of traditional and modern styles. A structural-semantic shift was identified at the level of stem-composition with simultaneous zero suffixation (‘noun + verb + zero suffixation’), consisting of the poet’s creation of composites with abstract semantics, in contrast to standard formation. Original neolexemes formed by stem-composition with simultaneous suffixation (‘noun + verb + materially expressed suffix’) are also described. These neologisms are formed by lexemes that acquire symbolised-sacral characteristics within ritual and song creativity. Conclu…

STRUCTURE OF THE ASSOCIATIVE FIELD KYIV
type: item
description: Introduction. The associative experiment (AE) is one of the most efficient methods that allows us to explicate the structures of knowledge about a separate fragment of reality as well as content components and value priorities of the language community that are psychologically relevant to a specific period of cultural development. The use of AE for comprehending and reconstructing the semantic continuum of linguocultural dominants is highly pertinent. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to structure the associative field and identify the basic domains and subdomains that serve as a context for profiling the concept KYIV. Methods. To fulfil the purpose, we used the AE method, we used the methods of modeling and interpretation to systematize, generalize and explain the responses received to the stimulus KYIV, we also used the constructive method, the result of which was the linguomental arrangement of the concept KYIV. The associative experiment involved 335 respondents aged 16 to 88 from Kyiv and its suburbs, who had to provide five associations with the toponym KYIV. In total, 1767 verbal responses were obtained, which served as the material of the study. Results. It has been emphasized that there is a high axiological potential of the toponym KYIV in the Ukrainian cultural space, therefore it is of enormous importance to clarify the content and arrangement of the concept KYIV in the linguistic consciousness of Kyiv residents. It has been determined that the verbal responses obtained as a result of AE correlate with the verbal-mental representation of the concept KYIV. The subject-concept relations between the units of the associative field have been traced and the associates that differ in number and structure have been arranged within five basic domains and 25 subdomains: 1. LIFE OF THE CITY: 1) city; 2) streets and districts; 3) infrastructure; 4) energy and rhythm; 5) gastronomic preferences; 6) problems; 2. HISTORY AND CULTURE: 1) historical past; 2) histori…

TYPES OF LINGUISTIC PERSONALITIES OF CHARACTERS IN UKRAINIAN DETECTIVE WORKS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH
type: item
description: Introduction. The relevance of the proposed article lies in the fact that literature for children and young adults plays a crucial role in shaping linguistic culture and worldview among young readers. Contemporary Ukrainian detective fiction for children is distinguished by vivid characters, each representing a unique linguistic personality. The concept of a linguistic personality reflects the set of linguistic means which characterizes a character and enables the reader to better understand their inner world, social status, and attitudes toward others. Through the language of the characters, a child perceives the world, interprets events, and defines their place within the communicative space. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to determine the types of linguistic personalities of characters in children’s detective fiction based on lexical-stylistic, pragmatic, and genre-conditioned features of their speech; to outline the individual authorial style of linguistic characterization; and to identify the functional role of linguistic behavior within works addressed to a young audience. Methods. In order to achieve this purpose, the descriptive method was employed to systematize linguistic features of characters and define their types; the comparative-typological method was used to contrast the linguistic personalities in the works of V. Nestayko, H. Vdovychenko, and A. Kokotiukha; the contextual-interpretive method helped to analyze the functioning of linguistic means in speech situations; and the discursive method enabled the examination of linguistic personalities within the framework of children’s detective discourse and helped determine their role in shaping genre specificity. Results. The analysis revealed that the linguistic personality of a character in Ukrainian children’s detective fiction is a multi-level construct combining verbal-semantic, cognitive, and pragmatic components. The identified types of linguistic personalities range from naïve and sincere,…

POLISH-UKRAINIAN FALSE FRIENDS OF THE TRANSLATOR IN BUSINESS LEXIS
type: item
description: Introduction. The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of Polish-Ukrainian false friends of the translator within the framework of contemporary business and economic lexis. The relevance of the study is determined by the dynamic development of Polish-Ukrainian economic relations, the increasing volume of business documentation, and the growing demand for accurate translation of professional texts, where even minor lexical inaccuracies may lead to serious communicative, legal, or financial consequences. Particular attention is paid to lexemes that are formally similar in Polish and Ukrainian but differ in meaning, scope of use, or stylistic and connotative characteristics. The purpose of the study is to identify, systematize, and analyze Polish-Ukrainian false friends in business vocabulary, as well as to examine their semantic characteristics and translation difficulties in order to prevent errors in professional business communication. The methods. The study employs analysis and synthesis of scholarly sources, the comparativetypological method for comparing lexical items, structural-semantic analysis to identify differences in meaning, as well as the contextual method. Main results of the study. The article clarifies the concept of “false friends of the translator” in the context of closely related languages and examines the main classifications of this phenomenon, including the distinction between absolute and relative false friends, as well as etymological and accidental ones. Linguistic, cognitive-psycholinguistic, and sociolinguistic factors contributing to their emergence are analyzed, such as phonetic and graphic similarity, semantic divergence, morphological features, polysemy, and the influence of intermediary languages. Based on Polish-Ukrainian business texts and terminology, the study presents typical examples of translation errors, particularly in the use of lexemes such as aktualny / актуальний, faktura / фактура, premia / премія, nakłady / н…

THE SPECIFICS OF ANGLO-UKRAINIAN TRANSLATION OF GENDER-MARKED VOCABULARY IN CONTEMPORARY POLITICAL DISCOURSE
type: item
description: The article focuses on the analysis of the peculiarities of rendering gender-marked vocabulary within the framework of Anglo-Ukrainian translation of contemporary political discourse. The research is based on the material of the resonant speech by former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard on misogyny and its author's translation. Particular attention is paid to the pragmatic aspect of translating lexemes that explicate gender asymmetries and the use of feminitive as a tool for the linguistic representation of women in politics. The main translation transformations that allow preserving the perlocutionary effect of the original in the internet-publicistic environment are identified. The study employs comparative and transformational analysis to justify the choise of lexical units that overcome the «androcentric filter» of the target language. By implementing consistent feminization of professional titles, the translation eliminates cognitive dissonance and ensures the visibility of female leaders in the socio-cultural space. Furthermore, the refusal to euphemize sexist nominations and the application of syntactic restructuring serve as strategic instruments for deconstructing patriarchal stereotypes. This approach facilitates an adequate reproduction of the speaker’s irony and intellectual superiority, maintaining the authentic level of political conflict characteristic of digital media.

PECULIARITIES OF FORMATION AND TRANSLATION OF ENGLISH MULTICOMPONENT CARDIAC SURGERY TERMS
type: item
description: Introduction. The rapid development of cardiac surgery and the dominance of English in international medical communication have led to the active formation of complex multicomponent terms that require accurate linguistic description and standardized translation. The structural complexity of such terminological units and variability of their Ukrainian equivalents create difficulties in professional communication and translation practice. Therefore, the analysis of multicomponent cardiac surgery terminology and its translation strategies remains relevant for modern terminology studies and medical translation. Purpose. The purpose of the research is to identify structural and semantic features of English multicomponent cardiac surgery terms, determine productive syntactic models of their formation, and analyze the main ways of their translation into Ukrainian. Methods. The study is based on structural semantic analysis, word-formation analysis, descriptive and comparative methods, as well as quantitative analysis. The material of the research includes 210 English cardiac surgery terms selected by continuous sampling from Dorland’s Illustrated Medical Dictionary and specialized medical sources. Results. The analysis demonstrates that multicomponent terms constitute a significant part of cardiac surgery terminology and are mainly formed syntactically. The most productive models are Adj + N, N1 + N2, and N1 + N2 + N3, which allow gradual specification of the generic concept by adding attributive components. Multicomponent terms are formed by expanding two-component constructions through additional modifiers expressed by adjectives or nouns. The study shows that such terms can function as semantically integral units or as formally divisible combinations. Translation analysis indicates that rendering of multicomponent cardiac surgery terms is carried out through analytical and synthetic stages. The most common translation techniques include genitive constructions, transform…

LINGUISTIC AND MENTAL STRUCTURES IN THE CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF ETHNOCONSCIOUSNESS OF UKRAINIANS
type: item
description: The article explores the linguisticization of ethnoconcepts through the prism of an original mental code using conceptual analysis. The systematization and analysis of the cognitive basis of ethnoconcepts as an interpretative-generative discourse in the aspect of dialogicity is revealed, the basis of which is the semiotic mechanisms of stereotyping the ideas of the Ukrainian ethnos about the world and their determination by cultural and psychomental factors. The motivational matrix of ethnoconsciousness in the projection onto the culture of the people and the identification of the cognitive segment are clarified, based on the connection of connotative processes with denotative ones in the structures of the collective unconscious. The purpose of the scientific research is to investigate the features of the linguistic verbalization of the ethnocultural concepts of “mother”, “ate”, “will”, “sacrifice” in the Ukrainian linguistic culture in the projection onto the semantic-cognitive and axiological nature. The study showed that the archetypal component of the ethnoconcepts of the cultural code of Ukrainians is guided by the correlation of the structure of knowledge about the signified with the original innate psychic elements, which are a manifestation of ancestral memory, the historical past of the ethnos, their collective unconscious and ensure the integrity and unity of human perception in the conceptualization of the linguistic picture of the ethnos.

Видатний британський мовознавець, професор та офіцер Ордену Британської імперії, автор понад ста книг, присвячених найрізноманітнішим аспектам мови: від історії англійської мови та шекспірознавства до клінічної лінгвістики та мови інтернету. Його фундаментальні праці, зокрема «The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language» [Кембриджська енциклопедія мови] та «English as a Global Language» [Англійська як глобальна мова], давно стали класикою академічної літератури. Однак, можливо, найбільшим талантом Кристала є його здатність виходити за межі «вежі зі слонової кістки» й говорити про складні наукові явища простою, живою мовою, зрозумілою найширшому колу читачів. Саме в жанрі науково-популярної літератури написана його книга «A Little Book of Language», оригінальне видання якої побачило світ у 2010 році у видавництві Yale University Press. Попри те, що з моменту виходу оригіналу минуло п’ятнадцять років, український переклад побачив світ лише у 2025 році у видавництві «Наш Формат». Варто зазначити, що цей часовий проміжок не зменшив актуальності видання. Навпаки, в епоху глобальних комунікаційних змін та цифрової трансформації спілкування погляди Д. Кристала є сучасними. Українське видання має назву «Короткі історії про мову», переклад зробила Зорина Тіммерман, чия робота заслуговує на окрему увагу завдяки майстерній адаптації англомовного матеріалу до українських мовних реалій. Монографія не є сухим академічним підручником, хоч за широтою охоплення тем вона може змагатися з університетським курсом «Вступу до мовознавства». Книга складається з 40 логічно пов’язаних розділів, кожен із яких висвітлює окремий аспект феномену мови. Авторка обрала еволюційну стратегію оповіді, починаючи від народження людини і її перших звуків, проходячи крізь етапи опанування мовлення, письма, граматики й завершуючи складними питаннями функціювання мови в цифровому суспільстві та проблемою мов, які зникають.

ДІЄСЛІВНЕ КЕРУВАННЯ В ЛЕКСИКОГРАФІЙНОМУ ВИМІРІ
type: item
description: У часи інтенсивного очищення української мови від чужорідних нашарувань й анормативних утворень досить популярною та активно досліджуваною лінгвістичною проблемою є дієслівне керування. У вітчизняному мовознавстві явища дієслівного керування вивчено переважно в теоретичному аспекті (праці Л. А. Булаховського, М. Ф. Кобилянської, В. Г. Войцехівської, О. Співака, В. В. Сидоренко та ін.), тоді як спеціального словника, що б системно охоплював бодай найскладніші випадки вживання безприйменникових та прийменниково-відмінкових форм залежних від дієслів іменників, донедавна не було. У наявних тлумачних і перекладних словниках та довідниках із культури української мови або фрагментарно подано відомості про дієслівне керування, або вони мають спеціальне призначення – особам, які вивчають українську мову як іноземну (див.: Романова В. М. 1000 українських дієслів. Словник синтаксичної сполучуваності (Для студентів-іноземців). Київ : Вид. центр КНЛУ, 2008. 224 с.; Дієслівне керування в українській мові: навчальний посібник для студентів-іноземців / Б. Сокіл, Л. Новіцька, М. Товкало. Львів : Магнолія, 2008. 752с.).
