ПЕРИФРАЗ І ЙОГО ТЕКСТОТВІРНІ ФУНКЦІЇ В КОТЛЯРЕВСЬКОЗНАВЧОМУ ДИСКУРСІ ОЛЕСЯ ГОНЧАРА

The article reviews the periphrastic potential of the particular discourse – Oles Honchar’s literary article “The Immortal Poltavite” The facts mentioned in O. Honchar’s work give grounds to assert that the descriptive structures based on identifying semes are united into separate paradigmatic fields, the main ones being as follows: ‘Ivan Kotliarevsky’, “’Eneyida’ by Ivan Kotliarevsky”, “’Natalka Poltavka’ (Natalka from Poltava) by Ivan Kotliarevsky”, “’Moskal Charivnyk’ (The Muscovite Sorcerer) by Ivan Kotliarevsky”. The narrow semantic groups can be defined as peripheral paradigms. The study has singled out these paradigms and their component structure. The anthroponym ‘Ivan Kotliarevsky’ and the biblionym ‘Eneyida’ have the most extended paradigmatic formations. As for the degree of emotional constituents, the secondary nominations can be differentiated as descriptive constructions and figurative nominations. The former relates to anthroponym ‘Ivan Kotliarevsky’, and his specific authorship in particular. It has been proved that the main purpose of these periphrases is to avoid the repetition of the anthroponym ‘Ivan Kotliarevsky’ in short texts. The research has revealed the nuclear formations among the figurative nominations, i.e. the ones that convey the highest degree of evaluation. They refer to general constructions such as the “founder of the new Ukrainian literature”, “the first representative of the Ukrainian classic literature”, and the individual author-described syntactical structures, such as the “cheerful life-loving genius”, “the true son of Ukraine”. The author has analyzed the figurative potential of the periphrases and used the method of component analysis, and the elements of the semasiological evaluation. This made it possible to interpret the textural functions of descriptive constructions and figurative nominations of the anthroponym ‘Ivan Kotliarevsky’, and biblionyms ‘Eneyida’, ‘Natalka Poltavka’, ‘Moskal Charivnyk’ in different ways. This article has defined the generic hyponym-hyperonym and synonymic relationships between the described secondary nominations. The first type of relationship relates to biblionyms, the second one deals with the anthroponyms and biblionyms. The research has proved the periphrasis to be an important source that reveals the significance Ivan Kotliarevsky’s personality in the history of either Ukrainian or world literature and culture.
