Linguo-cultural parallels: Hrygorii Skovoroda and China
Journal Title: Мова і міжкультурна комунікація - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
The article considers the issues of Ukraine-China relations, which found its expression not only in Oriental studies. The review of works on the history of Sinology in Ukraine illustrates the relevance of this issue. The need to analyze the linguistic and cultural heritage in the aspect of coverage of relations with China as a fragment of displaying the linguistic picture of Ukrainians’ world, according to the author’s opinion, is extremely important. The choice of the linguistic and cultural approaches to the interpretation of linguistic facts, which are actualized in works of art, was caused by this fact. The purpose of this article is to study linguistic evidences of the Ukrainian-Chinese linguistic and cultural contacts. The tasks of the article are associated with the search of verbal evidence of possible intercultural relationships, with the defining the reliability of knowledge, which is reflected in the world view of an author’s language personality, with lexical and semantic analysis of the lexemes that explicate intercultural relations. A poem written by Hrygorii Savych Skovoroda «Talk about wisdom» was the material for realizing the goal of the article. Lexical and semantic analysis of the lexemes «хинский» and «хинцы» was based on the study of lexicographic description and contextual analysis of these words’ meanings. According to this analysis the conclusion was drawn not only about the time of functioning of these lexemes, but also about historical and cultural background of their use. This conclusion creates the potential not only to study lexical and semantic evidence of contacts between Ukrainian and Chinese cultures, but also gives the reason to analyze these manifestations in linguo-cognitive aspect. In addition, the works of many Ukrainian writers can be analyzed from this perspective.
