THE ODOURATIVE VOCABULARY IN MODERN UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE: SEMANTIC-PRAGMATIC ASPECT

Abstract

In the modern linguistics one of the pressing problems is the problem of odourative nomination. In the recent decades several areas of study of odourative lexemes are separated: semasiological, psycholinguistical, functional and stylistic, etc. The famous researchers are V. Dyatchuk, N. Sologub, L. Pustovit, S. Aleksandrov, L. Stavytska, P. Dotsenko, I. Kochan, etc. The purpose of this article – to describe of semantics and ways of expressing of odourative vocabulary in modern Ukrainian language, to trace the semantic and pragmatic features of names of olfactory impressions in artistic speech. The small prose of famous Ukrainian writer Arkadiy Liubchenko will be as material of study, and the subject of analysis is the name of odors. The scientific novelty and relevance of our study is caused by the lack of comprehensive linguistic analysis of semantic group of odour names in A. Liubchenko’s linguistic creativity. For implementation of the declared goal we must solve the following tasks: to describe the semantics of odour names in the modern Ukrainian language; to characterize the grammatical expression; to implement the semantic classification of smell names in the A. Liubchenkos’ works; to ascertain the aesthetics of this lexemes in the context of artistic speech. The case of odourative names, which was found in the Liubchenkos’ works, constitute the lexemes with a meaning of smell, belonging to different parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, rare – adverbs. All these names could be divided into the several semantic groups: smells of nature (flowers, herbs, fruits, etc.), smells of peoples, animals, dwellings, household items, food, beverages, abstract names, etc. The names of smells create interesting concrete sensory images in aesthetic system of writer’s image. Besides the figurative features, smell nominations often play emotional and expressive role. In the A. Liubchenko’s small prose the traditional system of odour names is complemented by occasional nominations, which usually are based on the metaphorization, and create detailed odourative images.
