HUTSULISM-MYTHONYMS IN TARAS PROHASKO'S NOVEL "THE UNSIMPLE"

Abstract

Abstract Background. The article deals with the reflection of the trails of the Hutsul dialect, the semantics of dialectal appellatives is examined, the peculiar structure of Hutsul dialectisms and identified factors that determine the use of dialect in the text of the works are identified. The object of research is Hutsul dialectisms in the language of Taras Prokhas’ko's works («Neprosti» and «FM Halychyna»). The purpose of the research is to systematize dialect vocabulary taking into account structural, semantic, functional and stylistic, genetic features; to determine the roles and places of Hutsulism in the idiostyle of the modern Ukrainian writer T. Prokhas’kо. Methods. Hypothetical-deductive and inductive methods of analysis to analyse dialectical phenomena in the language of Taras Prokhas’kos’ works are used; the descriptive method, component and statistical analysis and method of processing small selection samples are used to classify dialectisms. Results. The analyzed works of fiction by contemporary writer Taras Prokhas’ko vividly represent a new type of literary-dialectal interaction, when dialectal units (Hutsulisms)  introduced into the outline of the text  do not appear in dialogues that profane, simplify them to stylize the speech of the characters, but outlined in the author's own narration. The author-scriptor is  an active carrier and a translator of dialectal speech in the text of the work at the same time, where Hutsul dialectisms are introduced and function in accordance with the needs of artistic narration. Sometimes avoiding local words in speech, the writer Taras Prohasko still uses them in some places. For example, vivid expression is characteristic for dialectics in context. Discussion. In further research there is a prospect of considering the features of dialect units at other language levels: phonetic, morphological, phraseological, syntactic. The main theoretical provisions and factual research material can be used in the practice of teaching dialectology of the Ukrainian language, for writing manuals and textbooks, in reading special courses, in research work of students and graduate students. Keywords. Dialectism, dialect vocabulary, Hutsul dialect, hutsulisms, individual style, literary language.
