As a result of the study of 281 microtoponyms, 8 semantic groups of microtoponyms were identified: names denoting different types of elevations, reduced relief, the stems of which characterize the flatness of the area, the shape, color of the microterritory, fauna, and characterize the structure or properties of the soil, formed from water realities and plant names. In each thematic group, the meaning of motivational stems is outlined, and their etymology is clarified. On the basis of calculations, it was found that the most significant share in the analyzed onomasticon of the village is occupied by the terminology for the designation of water realities and microtoponyms, formed on the basis of phytoterminology, which is connected with the natural location of the settlement between two rivers, forest areas and the presence of a large number of small water basins, which became the basis for the creation of 29 and 34 proper names of monolexical, compound and prepositional structure to designate 11 and 13 microobjects, respectively. Within these groups, the largest number of names was recorded from the appellatives kalybania / stav and luh – 6 and 9 nominations. It was found that the propriatives for marking the reduced relief, of which there are 12 units in the mentioned village, are also productive. The thematic groups that are less productive or unproductive in the studied territory are outlined, among which the microtoponyms, the stems of which characterize the flatness of the area, are the least quantitatively represented.","PeriodicalId":180896,"journal":{"name":"Philological Review","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127398675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many scientific investigations describe the stylistic functions of old slavonicisms in the texts of classical and modern fiction. \u0000The article analyzes the usage of elements learned from the Old Slavic language in various discourses. \u0000Old Slavic elements are an organic part of the lexical composition of religious discourse texts, in particular, preaching discourse addressed to a mass audience. In the works of this genre, lexical units that have counterparts in the Ukrainian language are attested, but the authors also widely use book forms. Many lexemes learned from the Old Slavic language retain their connection with the source language, but have undergone assimilation processes, especially at the morphological level. \u0000We observe variants of Church Slavonicisms and their Ukrainian equivalents in the texts: древо (tree) – дерево (tree), прихід (coming) – пришестя (coming), родитися (be born) – рождатися (be born). \u0000The lexemes, which include elements borrowed from the Old Slavic language (for example, with the components blago-), have an evaluative function, which causes a wide range of their compatibility and use in different styles. \u0000Lexical units with the suffix -тель entered the official business discourse, they are the names of persons by activity, some of which are official names of professions: учитель (teacher), хранитель (keeper), as well as the lexeme вихователь (educator), which was formed on Ukrainian basis, with the help of an Old Slavic word-forming affix. Lexemes to denote persons with the suffix -тель are used in modern legal practice: управитель (manager), довіритель (principal), засідатель (assessor). \u0000In everyday discourse, the analyzed vocabulary primarily expresses realia related to the religious worldview. It is used in prayer appeals to Saints, discourse formulas of warning, and rituals.

The purpose of the article is to consider the Ukrainian novel in the poems of the 21st century, to determine its genre originality (author’s and reader’s) as an important regulator of aesthetic communication. The object of research is the texts of novels in verse, prefaces to them, comments of authors and critics regarding the creation of texts and genre modification. \u0000Ukrainian novel in poems of the 21st c. is characterized by the analysis of narrative structures, a set of ideas, concepts aimed at highlighting the cultural and historical heritage of the past through its multiple reading by the recipient. Emphasis is placed on the author's (textual) and classification (reader’s) mode of their creation, which makes it possible to clarify the historical and theoretical dynamics of textual traditions, the history of writing, is the key to communicative influence on the reader, perception of the paradigm of the genre. The plots of Ukrainian novels in verse are presented in accordance with the principles of the postmodern era with a radical rethinking of aesthetic, spiritual, philosophical foundations of human existence and a new concept of worldview, focused on personal experiences of socio-cultural challenges, mental breakdowns and political crises. \u0000The study examines Ukrainian novels in poetry of the 21st century by L. Horlach, A. Hudyma, I. Kozak, V. Marsyuk, R. Pаstuch, I. Pavlyuk, O. Omelchenko, M. Tіutіunnyk und А. Shkulipa, who created the following genre varieties, were considered: historical novel in verse, historical poetry novel, novel-song, novel-meditation in poetry, satirical, grotesque novel in verse, virtual novel, autobiographical novel in poetry, whimsical novel in verse, historical-philosophical-fantasy novel-essay, lyrical novel in verse, novel-trilogy in verse, a lyrical-musical novel in verse. In these novel structures, the past and the present are mutually projected onto the future, spiritually constructing it, forming moral and ethical norms, canons of national consciousness. \u0000Thus, emphasizing the genre modification of the modern Ukrainian novel in verse, various examples of its genre varieties, we took into account the author’s and reader’s genre definition, because the structural isolation and semantic definition of the genre are related to the author’s origin, looseness and devotion – with the reader. This does not mean that the creative design of the text is localized in the sphere of the author, and the semantic life after the design belongs to the sphere of the reader.

A careful reading of the text of the novel gave reason to single out the following components of the image of Kateryna Chaichenko: the author presents the woman's appearance very succinctly – short, thin; her relationship with her son and his children: Ivan Chaichenko and his wife and children live with their mother; the relationship between Kateryna Chaychenko and her daughter-in-law is good, the women get along with each other; the mother’s love for her son is so strong that the woman sacrifices her life – she agrees to sell the family’s house and land, so that Ivan Chaichenko and his family have money for the trip and for the first time, while they get settled and establish life in a new place; the woman is extremely kind: she goes «to the storeroom», that is, she rents a storeroom from the same poor family as hers; the woman takes care of the numerous children of the Granchaks, with whom she lives, for free, because there is nothing to pay her; gradually she gives them for food the grain that her son left her, so that she could sow it in the spring; the woman gives the last grain to Granchakas to save a child’s life; Kateryna Chaychenko sacrifices herself for the second time – she goes to the parish clerk to ask for some grain and permission to beg. At the same time, she understands that she does not have much time left to live, perhaps until the next winter, when, begging from village to village, she will freeze on the road or under someone’s blanket.

Berniczky is a Hungarian writer living in Uzhhorod, Transcarpathia, who regularly publishes in journals that define the Hungarian literary canon. Yet her presence in literary history compilations is not obvious: neither the Hungarian, nor the Transcarpathian regional literary canon has accepted her works lightly. \u0000In this paper, the experiences of strangeness in her short stories and in her one novel to this day, Méhe nélkül a bába (The Midwife Without a Bee), are discussed in terms of two problematic issues. In the first part, the interplay of cultural differences is brought to the fore, namely because, in reading the collected short stories in Szerencsegyökér (The Root of Fortune aka Mandragora), we have noticed that Berniczky’s writing is fundamentally characterised by the linguistic representation of multilingual and multicultural communities. We start from the premise that a significant part of the writer’s oeuvre to date is based on the interplay of cultural differences, introducing the reader to a world that in literary theory is best described in terms of the familiar or the familiar stranger. In the case of the novel, the problem of the found text, a postmodern topos, comes to the fore: the identity of the female narrator-translator is altered in the process of interpreting the diary of a foreign woman which appears in the novel. The act of translation reflects on the translator’s own life, experiences and perception of the world. This is why the paper emphasises that the novel Méhe nélkül a bába (The Midwife Without a Bee) represents, with particular linguistic sensitivity, how translation from one culture or language to another can become a process that defines and shapes (female) identity in a multilingual and multicultural region. The intimate relationship between the translator-narrator and the found text also emphasises that a more «credible, more truthful» translation is not enough to accurately reproduce the source text, something else, something more is needed.","PeriodicalId":180896,"journal":{"name":"Philological Review","volume":"190 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115748258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed article analyses the types of non-literary vocabulary used by Artem Chapai in the novel «Ponaihaly» (2015). The purpose of the work is to clarify the structural, semantic, and functional features of the non-literary vocabulary in the novel: slang, the mixture of different languages (surzhyk), barbarisms, etc. \u0000The research material includes more than 350 words of substandard vocabulary, taken from the novel. The work employs the following research methods: descriptive; comparative; elements of functional, component, and thematic analysis; as well as quantitative calculations. \u0000It was established that the language of the novel is a mix of the Ukrainian literary base and a wide stylistically reduced range of slang vocabulary, surzhyk units, barbarisms, dialect words, and vulgarisms. Each group of the mentioned vocabulary (except vulgarisms) is analysed by thematic groups, structure, etc. In particular, 220 slang words were subdivided into 1) evaluative names of people and their characteristics; 2) slang units for objects and phenomena; 3) slang words to denote human activities and states; 4) slang lexemes presenting an assessment of the particular situation. \u0000Among 80 recorded units of surzhyk, several groups were distinguished: 1) Ukrainian lexemes phonetically changed under the influence of Russian; 2) Russian words phonetically adapted to Ukrainian pronunciation; 3) Russian words; 4) linguistic twists formed by mixing morphemes. A group of barbarisms and ways of their functioning in the text was also analysed. \u0000The author made the conclusion that such vocabulary mix of the novel is justified because A. Chapai tried to convey the live speech of modern urban teenagers and the specifics of Ukrainian migrants’ communication in other countries.","PeriodicalId":180896,"journal":{"name":"Philological Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125424197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the one hand, our national culture causes increasing concern in the world, encourages learning Ukrainian to stand in solidarity with the nation courageously fighting against Russian invaders, reinforcing considerable part of the Ukrainian society to national values, rejecting Russian as a hostile means of communication. On the other hand, there have been noticeable mitigation of firm positions in the language policy on different levels, some tolerance to russification, unpretentious attitude to the use of Russian in media, in official communication etc. And this is occurring on the background of linguicide, denationalization on the Ukrainian territories occupied by Russian Federation army. \u0000In the publication the attention is focused on the dissemination of the Ukrainian language in Europe and in the world in the past 2022, relevance of the national legislation.

In recent years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainians have been forced to limit real contacts, which has significantly increased the share of online communication. However, the development of the information society is accompanied by the spread of not only positive but also negative practices in the virtual world. One of the most common is trolling. \u0000The purpose of the article is to give a comprehensive description of trolling as one of the modern communicative practices, including to consider the essence of the concepts of «troll», «trolling», to determine the main motives and signs of trolling, its communicative specificity; present the phenomenon of trolling in dynamics, find out the place and semantics of trolling in the linguistic consciousness of modern Ukrainians. \u0000The following methods were used for the study: comparison, observation, descriptive method and its main techniques – inventory and systematization of language units, questionnaire method, classification method, cognitive interpretation method, elements of the statistical method. \u0000Based on the analysis of the concepts of «troll», «trolling», the main motives and signs of trolling, its communicative specificity are determined. It has been established that in science trolling is considered mainly as a kind of virtual interaction in blogs, social networks, Internet forums, when the activity of the addressee is aimed at manipulation, insult, conflict or positive ridicule, exposing phenomena, objects, actions, etc. As the study showed, despite all the negatives associated with the concept of «trolling», this type of communicative interaction also has a positive side. \u0000Since one of the tasks was to study the attitude of Ukrainians towards trolling in dynamics, experimental data were used for this. The purpose of our survey was to identify the attitude of modern youth to the phenomenon under consideration and compare the information received with the established one. Based on the answers to the questionnaires, it can be concluded that in the language picture of the world of modern Ukrainian academic youth, trolling is perceived mainly as a negative phenomenon. A vivid evidence of the preservation of the primary, purely negative perception are the lexemes that characterize a typical troll: evil, cunning, treacherous, cruel, boorish, provocateur, ruthless, immoral, etc. \u0000At the same time, we also traced the dynamics of the perception of trolling, which is confirmed by the words used by the respondents (cool, humorous, credit, best) and gives reason to interpret the phenomenon under consideration as positive as well. \u0000It was revealed that although trolling is more viewed as a destructive phenomenon, a means of manipulation, but if it is aimed at motivating constructive actions and meeting the needs of both parties, there is every reas","PeriodicalId":180896,"journal":{"name":"Philological Review","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124453990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Soviet totalitarian system sought to subjugate Ukrainian writers with prisons, camps and mass executions. We have a number of testimonies: archival materials of investigative cases, memoirs, epistolaries, camp prose. First of all, it is often a matter of men’s reception of prison and camp experience, men’s literature of fact (nonfiction). Women’s testimonies continue to be a marginal phenomenon. It determines the need to actualize in Ukrainian literature the female camp experience manifested textually. \u0000The scientific understanding of documentary studies was carried out by a number of Ukrainian literary experts. These are the works of Oleksandr Halych, Nadiia Koloshuk, Mykhailyna Kotsiubynska, Oleh Rarytskyi and others. Women’s camp experience as a text entered the circle of scientific interest only sporadically (texts by Oksana Zabuzhko, Nadiia Koloshuk, Mykhailyna Kotsiubynska, Liudmyla Tarnashynska). \u0000Nadiia Surovtsova reflects on her camp experience both in prose and poetic words. Her «Memoirs» is a unique sample of women’s nonfiction literature mentioning the path of a young woman to «Golgotha» (prisons, camps). The author focuses not only on her own feelings and thoughts but also on everyday life, people who were close to her and their stories. The book is structured according to the shades of the narrator’s life. She defines two periods that reveal the time «before» and «after»: «Chronicle of short-lived happiness» and «On the other side».

The author also talks about the imprisoned female body. We are not talking about maximum frankness but we find naturalistic episodes sporadically (a bloody female body after interrogation, bleeding that becomes unbearable in the absence of water). The path to Golgotha for Nadiia Surovtsova is also a continuous hardening of her own character.
