Abstract

Background: The article is devoted to the analysis of syntactic idioms in the prose texts of the outstanding Ukrainian writer Bohdan Lepkyi. The study was performed within the fundamental re­search project "Objective and subjective linguistic-social grammar: communicative-cognitive and pragmatic-linguocomputer dimensions” (0118U003137) Vasyl Stus Donetsk National University of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine on the material of the writer's text corpus (http://corpora.donnu.edu.ua/bonito/run.cgi/corp_info?corpname=kitaeva).

Purpose: The purpose of the research is to reveal the realization peculiarities of syntactic idi­oms models in Bohdan Lepkyi's works.

Results: Syntactic idioms in the writer's prose texts are the bright instrument of expressive syntax, by which the author conveys evaluative, modal, negative, or accentual meaning. Bohdan Lepkyi uses 18 syntactic idioms models, the most productive are: Який (уже/вже/же/ж) N₁ Cop_f, Як (же/тут) (N₃) не Inf / Adv_praed, Не до N₂ Cop_f (N₃), Що (ж/це/то) за N₁ Cop_f і Який там N₁ Cop_f. Some models are represented by single examples: До чого N₁ Cop_f Adj₁, От (N₃) N₁ Cop_f і Чому б (N₃) не Inf. If we talk about the number of components, the models with a two-part core dominate, if we talk about the part-of-speech core component status, the models with compound par­ticles rules.

As multifunctional items, the syntactic idioms in Bohdan Lepkyi's texts perform expressive, phatic, corrective, and argumentative functions.

Discussion: The diversity in morphological content, in the number of components within the core, in the realized semantics and functions of syntactic idioms is evidence of the richness of Bohdan Lepkyi's syntax and connection with colloquial speech. At the same time, the selectivity of the syn­tactic idioms models usage (18 of 105 possible models) makes it possible to classify them as syntactic markers of personality speech.

The feature of Bohdan Lepkyi's speech is the stringing of syntactic idioms, built on one or different structural schemes.

The prospects for further research are to pick out other identifiers of individual speech at the syntactic level.

Keywords: Bohdan Lepkyi, text corpus, linguistic personality, model of sentence, pragmatics, semantics, sentence with phraseological structure, syntax, syntactic idiom, phraseology.
