Journal Title: Scientific journal «International Journal of Philology» - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 257
Abstract
Introduction. Lexemes denoting persons are of great interest to researchers. Such kind of lexemes are presented in Ivan Franko's complete works. A large part of them is given in modern lexicographical sources; the other part of words is less understandable for a speaker, that's why the actuality of the problem is evident. The aim of the article is to analyse persons' names taking into consideration their semantics, motivational basis, their origin, development, stylistic meaning and their functioning in Ivan Franko's writings. Methods of Investigation. The main method of investigation is structural. It is used to determine the most productive word-building patterns of derivatives. Analytico-descriptive method is used to find out structural and word-building peculiarities of persons' names. Investigation Results. The analysis of persons' names determined the most productive word-building patterns. They are the patterns with -nyk and -ar endings.Derivatives with -nyk-suffix are presented by ten word-building patterns.Derivatives with -ar-suffix are presented by three word-building patterns. The basis for derivatives are mostly nouns, less often - verbs. The author singles out thematic and lexico-semantic groups in the limits of the semantic classification. The investigation of lexico-semantic groups of persons' names determined preferential usage of outdated words. Some of them fell out of active use because of the disappearance of these professions, occupatons, trades. Other names have synonyms-corespondents in the Modern Ukrainian language. The third group comprises names that function nowadays. From the poin of view of their usage the author singled out such types of archaic words: lexico-phonetical and lexico-word-building. One more type of archaic words is presented by semantic archaic words. They are old words which acquire new meanings in the Modern Ukrainian language. According to their origin the author singles out parent Slavic lexemes and borrowed lexemes (from Polish, German, Greek, Latin, Hebrew). The author also examines words which don't belong to literary language: dialectal words, vulgarisms, slangisms and words with negative connotations (scornful and ironic connotations). The Author's Personal Contribution. The author was the first person who collecyted and examined a great number of lexemes denoting persons, which are presented in the Ivan Franko's complete works. The author also carried out complex investigation of persons' names according to their semantics, word-building peculiarities, origin, frequency of usage, stylistic meanings. Conclusion. The lexemes denoting persons' names testify Ivan Franko's genius and greatness, his many-sided talent. The investigation of the writer's idiolect can activize non-productive word-building pattersand to revive "forgotten, repressed" Ukrainian lexemes.
