WORD-FORMING CATEGORIES OF THE SUBJECT OF ACTION AND THE SUBJECT (BEARER) OF STATE IN LINA KOSTENKO’S IDIOSTYLE

Abstract

The article examines the word-formation categories of the subject of action and the subject (bearer) of state in the poetic speech of Lina Kostenko (based on the collection ‘Three Hundred Poems’ and the novel in verse ‘Marusya Churai’). The stylistic potential of the word-formation categories of the first non-predicative type of nouns is investigated. It has been established that in Lina Kostenko’s poetic works, nouns formed with the help of productive suffixes to denote the subject of action and the subject (bearer) of state manifest themselves as means of image creation, psychologisation, evaluation, and modelling of the historical and cultural space of the text. The study of the works of Ukrainian linguists (P. Bilousenko, I. Vykhovanets, K. Horodenska, V. Horpynich, A. Zagnitko, V. Oleksenko, M. Plyushch, etc.), as well as our own observations of the language of Lina Kostenko’s works, allowed us to conclude that the word-formation categories of nouns with the semantics of the subject of action and the subject (bearer) of state in the analysed poems go beyond the nominative function and become peculiar markers of Lina Kostenko’s idiolect, associated with the axiological, ethical and philosophical dimensions of the artistic world.
