Поглиблена робота з міфонімами (на основі літературних творів шкільної програми для 10 класу)

Abstract

Not common and not widespread in literary texts, such as anthroponymic or toponymic names, but quit functionally important can be considered mythonyms. Their role is revealed in the study of genre and stylistic features of some works of art of the school curriculum in Ukrainian literature for senior classes and worldviews of individual characters of those texts. The in-depth study of mythological artistic onyms is essential for tenth-grades. On the example of two works – Mykhailo Kotsyubynsky’s novel “Shadows og Forgotten Ancestors” and Lesya Ukrainka’s drama-extravaganza ‘Forest Song” – 10th grades can explore the role of the mythological names as one of the features of the drama genre, neo-romanticism style and ideology of cosmocentrism and paganism. That is why mythonyms need to be studied in depth within the genre, structural-stylistic and ideational-conceptual areas of research of a work of art. Like names of toponymic origin, mythological names combine both traditional etymological meanings and author’s additional meanings, which are valuable only in the context of a particular literary work. However, such names can often be symbolic. For example, Mavka is the heroine of Lesya Ukrainka’s neo-romantic drama-extravaganza “Forest Song”. The article outlines the optimal approach to the study of literary texts of the school curriculum in Ukrainian literature for 10th grade on the basis of genre, stylistic and ideological and conceptual analysis with in-depth study of mythological names. The paper identifies and proposes the basic requirements for the topics and objectives of the lessons devoted to the study of literary texts through involvement in the analysis of mythological names. The algorithm for constructing educational situations has been developed, the content of which corresponds to the proper names of methological characters and the author’s meanings contained in them.
