Походження та функціонування антропонімів у романі Романа Іваничука «Четвертий вимір»)

Abstract

The article reveals the functioning of anthroponyms in a historical novel, presents the etymological analysis of proper names, highlights the achievements in anthro-ponymic research of Ukrainian linguists. Such names have been known since the pre-Christian period, and in fi ction play a specifi c function – the creation of temporal and spatial background.Each literary and artistic anthroponym in the work must perform certain func-tions. R. Ivanychuk often chooses the names of the characters, determining the na-tionality, age, personality, appearance, and so on. The writer’s own names become a powerful expressive factor. Often they provide invaluable information in the text for the interpretation of the whole work, sometimes such that it is not expressed in other ways in the work. They express the text stylistically, color it.Anthroponymy in a literary text not only contains semantic information, but also expresses non-textual parameters of the author’s image, as the choice of anthroponyms for a writer is a manifestation of his literary individuality and artistic skill against the background of real socio-historical reality and his background knowledge.In the works of Roman Ivanychuk, anthroponyms are an eff ective method of ex-pressing the author’s point of view, which is one of the components of the structural and textual parameters of the author’s image.Nominative literary and artistic anthroponyms are the basis of artistic onomas-ticon. The presence of such onyms confi rms the authenticity of the characters and events. The main part of literary anthroponyms that perform a nominative function are names, surnames, drawn by the author from real life.
