Journal Title: Scientific journal «International Journal of Philology» - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 292
Abstract
The article deals with the peculiarities of the verbalization of the concept UKRAINE by modern Ukrainian youth and its role in the linguistic world-image of young Ukrainians. The material of the article is based on the results of the associative experiment held among 200 students (100 girls and 100 boys) of the University. Using the data of the associative experiment, the authors of the article prove that in conditions of the current social chronotopos the recipients’ associative field is filled with meanings that reflect the peculiarities of the current social chronotopos itself, and thus, prove the ethno-cultural nature of the concept of UKRAINE. The results obtained illustrate the semantic and value-based aspect of the concept UKRAINE, the verbal form in which it exists in the speakers’ mentality, and outline its role in the linguistic world-image of young Ukrainians. Having processed the statistical data of the associative experiment, the authors of the article highlight the semantic core of the concept of Ukraine (MOTHERLAND, STATE, COUNTRY, NATIVE COUNTRY), as well as sub-concepts (INDEPENDENCE, FREEDOM, LIBERTY, HOME, MOTHER, STRENGTH, INVINCIBILITY, POWER, PRIDE, PATRIOTISM, PEOPLE, NATION, COSSACKS, EMROIDERED SHIRT, PEACE, ANTITERRORIST OPERATION, UNITED, INDIVISIBLE, UNIQUE, CORRUPTION, DIFFICULT TIMES, LONG-SUFFERING, TEARS, BEAUTY, LANGUAGE, SONG, ANTHEM,UKRAINE IS ABOVE ALL, WITH UKRAINE IN HEART)that form its surrounding and peripheral zones and reflect its emotional and semantic background. Taking into account the statistical data processed, the authors ascertain that the sub-concepts of surrounding and peripheral zones of the concept’s semantic field reflect not only the figuratively associative perceptual aspect but also the peculiarities of the speakers’ value reflection in the thinking process. They also may have significant gender differences, which are not observed with the meanings that form the core of the concept.
