In the work, a comparative method of analysis was used, which allowed to find out the common and excellent in interpreting the image, revealing its deep meaning. Modern linguistics defines the concept of linguistic ethnocentrism. It becomes the background for the development of an ethnic group as an original phenomenon, acts as a uniting beginning of each individual nation, a marker of the national language, traditions, and culture. The history of its formation is dynamic. The philosophical origins are hidolen in the idea of anthropocentrism. Human being is regarded as an organic part of nature, and its surrounding animals, birds, trees, plants, rivers, rocks – as living beings endowed with a human soul The formation of linguistic ethnocentrism was significantly affected by the geographical and climatic features of the ethnic group's residence (natural landscape, climate, natural phenomena, flora and fauna). The natural origin caused the occurrence of a system of cult concepts associated with phyto-and dendrological symbols. It is expedient to analyze the historical and social conditions of the formation of an ethnic group and its culture (economic activity, occupation, relations with neighbors, social and political forms).The distinctive features of any ethnic group affect its psychological behavior and mental traits. Among the most characteristic features of Ukrainians, it is appropriate to name humanity, individualism, emotionality, sentimentalism, receptivity, hospitality, a kind of sincerity, lyricism. Formation of national-marked language units (epithets, metaphors, comparisons, proper names, compound words, associative language relations, specific vocabulary and phraseology) becomes the background of individualization of any ethnic culture, and Ukrainian especially. Ethnic language pictures of the world, which all members of society are involved in, affect the way people think and behave.","PeriodicalId":180896,"journal":{"name":"Philological Review","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130950899","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 article analyzes the issues aimed at clarifying such terms as «universal», «etrangism», «barbarism», as well as defines «brandonym», «text», determines the ability of brandonyms to acquire the characteristics of stylistics of certain messages, including advertising texts, and those that promote a particular idea implicitly. The onym space of any text is a reflection of the subjective assessment of the word by the author, therefore, the article emphasizes the peculiarities of introducing brandonyms to the texts of the above functional styles of modern Ukrainian standard language, as well as the specifics of mental and linguistic view of the world of an individual – the author of certain messages – as a representative of ethnolinguistic culture, the native of a separate language and philosophy. \u0000The relevance of the article is due to the need to trace functioning of proper names, in particular brandonyms, to try to establish their status in different texts. \u0000The aim of the article is to define the status of brandonyms from the standpoint of their affiliation to a certain group of vocabulary and stylistic purpose in the texts of literary and journalistic styles. \u0000Research methods are due to the peculiarities of the analysis of proprial vocabulary, which involves the use of descriptive method and a comprehensive approach to considering the functioning of specific lexical units in a particular text and their potential to create a certain stylistic intonation and power in achieving the overall goal of discourse formulation. \u0000In our opinion, the article is a necessary study in the research of Ukrainian onomastics, in particular the stylistic functions of proprietary names in various texts. \u0000Conclusions.

From a stylistic point of view, brandonyms are not endowed with superpowerful properties of creating some sublime or lyrical intonation of the text, but have considerable potential to help achieve the goal of literary style – to reproduce the socio-temporal color of the described events and phenomena – and journalistic – providing voluntative function, and to act as a dominant of linguistic ambivalence.","PeriodicalId":180896,"journal":{"name":"Philological Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133378090","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 material of A. Döblin’s play «The Marriage» analyzes the typological factors of the genre Lehrstück («learning» or «didactic» play), which became widespread as Brecht’s authorial innovation. The purpose of the article: on the basis of comparative analysis of Lehrstück by B. Brecht and the play «The Marriage» by A. Döblin to explore their formal and poetic factors and to conclude about the common and distinctive features of artistic and aesthetic intention of the genre Lehrstück in the works of both playwrights. \u0000The source base of the research is represented by literary studies of Günter Hartung, Jan Knopf, Klaus-Dieter Krabiel, Heiner Müller, Rainer Steinweg, Bernhard Klaus Tragelehn, Florian Vaßen, Oleksandr Chirkov. To achieve this goal, the following research methods were used: cultural-historical, comparative-historical, structuralsemantic, descriptive, literary analysis and synthesis. The study presents the main stages of the genre in the work of Brecht and focuses on the initial period of origin of the «learning» or «didactic» play, which is also relevant to the drama of A. Döblin. The play «The Marriage» contains three scenes, a prologue and an interlude. Thematically, all the scenes are united by a common plot core – showing the breakup of marriage and family due to external circumstances. Family and marital relationships fail regardless of social status or financial status. Results and conclusions: The article proves that A. Döblin’s play «The Marriage» has a number of aesthetic and typological features that make it related to Brecht’s «didactic» plays: rejection of theatrical scenery, props, that is, everything that creates a theatrical illusion; the presence of epic elements and music as components of drama; use of text and illustrative projections, songs, recitatives with musical accompaniment; presence of a speaker (commentator) and a choir; the inclusion of the author’s commentary, which states the theme and issues of the drama, as well as explains how the play is constructed, emphasizes the probable educational, educational, instructive influence; the presence of director’s remarks that explain the options for the stage embodiment of the play; the ability to improvise, modify the text of the play and release individual scenes according to the purpose and type of production. A generalized analysis of the existing typological characteristics gives grounds to consider the play «The Marriage» by A.

In the process of expressing opinions, Lesia Ukrainka used various forms of transmission of another’s speech, including indirect speech and its peripheral version – free indirect speech, the design and structure of which differs from indirect. \u0000Compound sentences with an explanatory part and complex sentences with several subordinate clauses, representing homogeneous subordination or consecutive subordination, are quantitatively predominant in constructions with indirect speech.

The question of language and style of detective novels would uncommonly become a subject of research as they are regarded to as so-called mass literature, that is one that is focused on literature preferences of a wide circle of readers, in other words – it is a popular, entertaining, trivial literature. \u0000Linguistic research of detective works were mostly done on the material of literary texts of English and French languages, Ukrainian detectives were not a subject of such analysis. Questions of influence of genre peculiarities on the choice of linguistic units was also left beyond attention of researchers, which predetermines the relevance of the research. The source basis of the research consists of detective novels by Andrii Kokotiukha – one of the most notable Ukrainian detective authors.
