Mythical and mystical names in the individual-author's picture of the world of Darya Korniy

The article presents the most basic vectors of scientific research in the field of linguistic and conceptual picture of the world. Attention is focused on the features of the artistic work, which reflects the cognitive experience of the people in general and the writer as a linguistic personality in particular. The importance of a comprehensive linguistic study of the artistic work of Dara Korniy, which was based on archetypal pagan ideas, pre-Christian mythology, and proto-Ukrainian beliefs, is substantiated. The writer complements the depicted realities of everyday life with fantasy, fiction, and mysticism. The individual-authorial “mythological model” receives linguistic expression in the form of mythical-mystical names (mythemes and mythonyms), which are nationally marked and in their entirety constitute a lexical paradigm. Based on the material of the texts “Magical Creatures of Ukrainian Mythology. Spirits of Nature” and “The Cloud Chaser” characterize mythical nominations used to designate individual fragments of pagan pandemonium. Recreating the worldviews of the people, the writer complements them with individual worldviews and worldviews, develops the semantic structure of a word, and modifies linguistic paradigms, including the coordinate system of the lexical-semantic space. The semantic-thematic, logical-semantic, derivational, functional, etc. features of individual mythical-mystical linguistic units are clarified through the prism of the individual-author's language-forming potential.
