Abstract

The work is devoted to the memory of a prominent scientist, philologist, founder of the Odesa onomastic school, honoured worker of science and technology of Ukraine, corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, academician of the Academy of Sciences, professor Yuriy Karpenko and his study of a topical issue of the origin and development of the Ukrainian language, chronological stages of division of the history of Ukrainian literary language. The purpose of the research is to present the concepts of the historical development of the Ukrainian language by leading scientists, the most important periodization of Slavic scientists, to specify and express the principles of periodization and periods of the history of the Ukrainian literary language. The object of the study is the hypotheses of the historical development of the Ukrainian language by leading scientists, and the chronological stages of the division of the history of the Ukrainian literary language. The subject is a change in the chronological boundaries of the new Ukrainian language and the expression of its subsites. S. Khkatkova and H.Onufrienko can be called the predecessors in the study of the periodization of the history of the Ukrainian literary language. Different concepts of the origin of the Ukrainian language are the basis of the periodization of the history of the Ukrainian literary language. In the research, we pay attention to two main concepts of the origin and development of the Ukrainian language. Also, the hypotheses of the historical development of the Ukrainian language are presented, and the most important periodization of Slavic scientists is substantiated in the work. The research indicates a change in the chronological boundaries of the new Ukrainian language and its Cossack and modern era. We believe the new Ukrainian language begins with maintaining documentation during Bohdan Khmelnitsky’s headship. The language of business documentation was based on the southeastern dialect and was close to the ordinary spoken language. Universals are unsurpassed examples of the Ukrainian language: only 3% of vocabulary are church Slavonic words, 7% are Polish words, and 90% are Ukrainian words. The history of the Ukrainian literary language is ancient and interesting by its historical origins, and ancient roots in the old Slavic language. But as an objective system, the Ukrainian language began to form intensively in the IX century. The 5th stage classification based on the phonological changes of Yu. O. Karpenko, which begins with the Slavic language and ends with the new Ukrainian language (XIX-XX centuries) is deep and scientifically substantiated.
