Journal Title: Львівський філологічний часопис - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
The article deals with the problem of modality as one of the stylistic resources of the sentence. Attention is paid to the achievements of the domestic and foreign scientists who have studied modally oriented syntactic constructions. Common and different features of utterances with illocutionary and optative semantics are briefly stated. It is ascertained that in optative sentences, the very essence of illocution is obscure, the wish is expressed politely, hidden. Verbal forms with the conjunctions хай (нехай)are established as the most common means of expressing the optative mood in modern linguistics. It is analyzed that modern research of optative sentences has been done basing on the material of Ukrainian proverbs, advertisements, periodicals, fiction by Ukrainian writers of the XIX – XXI centuries. The article studies the functioning of optative sentences as an integral part of the syntactic organization of T. Melnychuk’s individual style. It is ascertained that the optativeness of the analyzed poetic texts has different modally marked means, and among them most often used are the conjunctions хай, нехай combined with finite verbs in two-member sentences. Another representative of optativeness in the poet’s writing are subjunctive mood verbs combined with the conjunctions нехай(най) andби that make it possible to express a wish-supposition. The sentences with optative modality have a high level of linguistic expressiveness, contributing to the intensification of the expressiveness of the poetic text. The main semantic features of the optative constructions are studied: existential poetic reflections provoked by understanding the transience of life, awareness of losing the most precious things – the happiness of the home comfort, love – caused by the hard fate of a political prisoner poet.
