Verbalization of ethno- cultural stereotypes in S. Vorobkevych’s literary discourse

The relevance of the scientifi c article determines the importance of the study of various means of expression of the national- linguistic picture of the world in the literary discourse of prominent Ukrainian writers. The purpose of the scientific research is to identify those diff erent- level verbalized units that make up the fund of linguistic and aesthetic signs of national culture, evidenced in S. Vorobkevych’s literary texts. The scientifi c novelty of the research is determined by the analysis of those language units that summarize the centuries-old observations, the life experience of the people among whom the writer grew up and lived, manifest his spirit and originality of worldview, and at the same time represent the national type of thinking of the author, his national- linguistic personality. Theoretical and illustrative material was analyzed using general scientifi c methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, and linguistic methods ‒ descriptive with methods of classifi cation and generalization of linguistic facts. Conclusions. The study of the relevant features of the national- linguistic picture of the world through an literary text is inextricably linked with the study of the individual author’s pictures of the world, which contain information about the mentality of the people whose literature is represented by this or that writer. The study of Vorobkevych’s idiostyle made it possible to identify original national and cultural verbal images in his artistic texts, which strengthen the language- aesthetic and expressive potential of literary discourse and reproduce in the writer’s speech style the national- linguistic picture of the world of Ukrainians, represent the worldview of the people among whom he grew up and lived
