ПОЛЬСЬКО-УКРАЇНСЬКІ МОВНІ ЗВ’ЯЗКИ: ІСТОРІЯ ВИВЧЕННЯ

The article analyzes the main achievements of researchers in the field of Polish-Ukrainian contacts from ancient times to the present. The works of scientists have observed that the most powerful influence on the Ukrainian language occurred in the 16th–17th centuries, therefore a large number of works by scientists are aimed at analyzing Polish-Ukrainian contacts during this period. The versatility of such investigations is described: the manifestation of the thematic content of Polonisms, the characteristics of Polish words in individual works, genres, styles, the designation of Polish influence on the Ukrainian anthroponymic and phraseological systems of the Ukrainian language, the peculiarities of the adaptation of Polonisms to the recipient language, changes in the structure of Polish borrowings, etc. Inseparable from diachronic research are also works on identifying Polish influences in Ukrainian dialects, in particular the peculiarities of the functioning of Polonisms in border and non-contiguous dialects, etc. Other aspects of the study of Polish-Ukrainian linguistic relations are also outlined – problem areas and features of translations from Polish into Ukrainian, linguistic assimilation of Poles in Ukrainian lands under unfavorable socio-political conditions, the linguistic status of aphorisms in the symbolic paradigm of Polish linguistic culture, etc. The analyzed studies outline a number of difficulties that arise in the process of researching Polish influence and issues that require deeper exploration: the percentage of Polonisms in the Ukrainian language; the thematic groups most affected by the influence of the Polish language; the specific genres and territories where this influence is most evident; the evolution of Polonisms in the modern Ukrainian language; the functioning of Polonisms in the dialects of the Ukrainian language, etc. To date, there is no comprehensive study that would show the functioning of polonisms at least in one time period (for example, the 14th–15th, 16th–17th, 18th, 19th centuries), in a certain style (business, artistic, confessional, etc.). Promising are the studies of the consequences of Polish-Ukrainian interaction in the modern dialects of the area we are studying, in which it is worth tracing whether Polonisms played a role in the formation of the North Ukrainian language area.
