THE SEMANTIC DIMENSIONS OF NATIONAL IDENTITY IN SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ESSAYS OF THE 90TH YEARS OF THE XX CENTURY

Abstract

The article describes the concept of national identity at the beginning of 1990th after Ukraine received its independ- ence. This study allows to examine Oksana Pakhlovska’s and Oles Honchar’s opinions to this concept and also methods of authors’ influence on the recepients’ consciousness. It is stated in the article that the concept Ukraine is the core of the con- ceptual sphere of national identity and it is mostly represented as the cultural concept. The article focuses on the relations between Europe and Ukraine and the representation of this relation in the articles. It is mentioned, that the integration into the European cultural area is associated with the existence of nation. The semantic paradigm Ukraine-Europe has a positive pragmatic potential at the end of the XX century, however the syntactic means of its verbalization differ in Pakhlovska’s and Honchar’s articles. The fact of Ukraine entering the European space is represented undoubtedly in Oles Honchar’s articles that is proved by so called subject of the common opinion “we” (we can say, we hope etc). It provides the effectiveness of sug- gestive influence. This mean is very sufficient, as it reduces the distance between the author and the recipient, demonstrating the rational opening. In Pakhlovska’s texts thoughts about the dichotomy Ukraine– Europe are presented by different means. In most articles we observe the subjective author’s assessment, her willing to argue the chosen position. The dialogue simulation is peculiar to both authors in the aspect of revealing the concept EUROPE as a core concept in the conceptosphere of national identity. While O. Pakhlovska answers the questions that she ask herself. Oles Honchar leaves them without any answer, leaving some space for the recepients’ thoughts. The idea of sovereignity is one of the core ideas in social and political essays of the end of the previous century. This concept is connected with IDENTITY and CULTURE. The concept RUSSIA contains the seme “brother”, “bad brother”, “neighbor”, that allows to attribute it to the con- stant “alien”. At the same time the concept EUROPE contains the seme “self”, that is actualized in texts by the word “part” (concerning Ukraine). In spite of the different communicative situation of texts, they demonstrate common core semes of the conceptosphere NATIONAL IDENTITY.
