Abstract

This research reveals the important role of dialectal word-formation in realizing the associative word-formation potential of the noun stems of the Ukrainian language. The importance of dialectal dictionary materials for establishing synonymous word-formation models inherent in figurative derivation is emphasized. This approach helps to show as fully as possible the potentialities of the Ukrainian language in the formation of word-forming synonyms. Figurative derivatives, evidenced by dialectal word-formation, are an integral part of lexical units that help to most completely describe the system of figurative derivational relations and organize the derived words into word-forming paradigms or nests. A significant base of derived units (nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs) enabled to reveal the important role of dialectal figurative derivatives in the formation of separate zones (substantive, adjectival, verbal, or adverbial) of lexical and word-forming figurative paradigms with nounvertices гак (hook), лопух (burdock), сітка (mesh), сокира (axe), цибуля (onion), цап (goat). It has been established that dialectal derivatives illustrate the possible emergence of various types of figurative representations (metaphorical, metonymic, figurative-paradoxical), objectified in the two-level content o language units and in the peculiarities of their formal structure.
