Abstract
Lexical synonyms are a component of both the language system and the text system. The study of synonyms as components of a literary text makes it possible to identify mechanisms that transform the semantic structure of common language synonyms. Most often additional shades in the meaning of a synonym are realized in syntagmatic connections. The topicality of our research is based on the fact that it is the first attempt to research the lexical synonymy of the works by Myroslav Dochynets. The purpose of the article is to comprehensively analyze the semantic and stylistic features of lexical synonymy in the novel “Maftei” by Myroslav Dochynets and determine the role and place of synonymous means in the organization of a literary text. The basis of the synonymic series in the writer’s language development is the general linguistic, normative and literary lexemes. In the literary text they form a peculiar background against which the differential signs of synonymous units containing a stylistic component in their meaning appear. Synonymous rows of lexemes are quantitatively rich and stylistically diverse. The large branching of verbal lexeme in rows is due to the fact that in order to determine actions and conditions that are close in meaning the writer draws to his work not only words from a literary language but also colloquially folk vernacular. In the course of the study it has been found out that both separate verbs and whole phraseological turns, figuratively metaphorical constructions appear in the verbal synonymic constructions. The wealth of lexical synonymy in the novel by Myroslav Dochynets is manifested not only in the quantitative composition of synonymic series, in their ramification but, above all, in the multiplicity of semantic and stylistic shades of the synonym, in emphasizing the new, not yet described, expressive possibilities of common words. For the expressiveness the author gets to the stylistically neutral general linguistic units, expressively labelled synonyms: folk and old elements, dialectisms and phraseological connections. Used as self-sufficient loners or strung into gradation rows they become the spokesmen for the author’s individual vision of the world.
