Мовний образ РІДНОЇ ЗЕМЛІ / ХОЛМЩИНИ / УКРАЇНИ в поезії Тадея Карабовича

Abstract

The article deals with the linguistic image of the NATIVE LAND / KHOLMSHCHYNA / UKRAINE in the poetry of Tadej Karabowicz. It has been found that it combines linguistic -stylistic units to designate the small homeland (Kholmshchyna) and the larger Motherland (Ukraine). The poet’s special attitude to his native land as a shrine is emphasized by frequently used sacral terms (Mother of God, Lord, communion, sacred, temple, etc.). A number of toponyms (oikonyms and hydronyms) express the concrete physical features of the native land. The associative -semantic field of the linguistic image is formed by keywords -concepts with typical attributes, supplemented by the author’s artistic expressions (parents’ house, a native home, a cherry orchard, an embroidered towel, etc.). Phytonyms and ornithonyms (a pear tree, a lark, cranes, weeds/herbs, viburnum, etc.) express the direct and symbolic meanings inherent in folklore and literary tradition, and are given new meanings by the author.
