Abstract
The topical question in modern linguistics is the study of the peculiarities of particular writer’s linguistic worldview. Research on these questions allows us to determine the nature of the interaction between the subjects of the author-reader dialogue and to highlight the role of linguistic means as suggestive in this dialogue. The basic operating unit used in exploring writer’s worldview is the concept. In the article, the concept is interpreted as the operational content unit of memory, the mental lexicon, the conceptual system of the brain, the whole worldview, as reflected by the human psyche. The analysis of the features of verbalization of the concept becomes especially important in the study of poetic texts, because it is in them that the richness of words is manifested. In Oleksii Dovhiy’s poetic language one of the most pronounced is the concept PEOPLE. In the lyric hero’s linguistic worldview this concept is expressed by tokens that are involved in the creation of such concepts-images of the people as people-laborer, people-hero, in the other – people-victims and people-destroyers. Each of these images in a poetic context actualizes the corresponding feature. We can speak of the explication of the signs “hard working”, “peaceful”, “heroic”, “kind and sincere”, “tragic”. In some poetic contexts, the verbalization of the positive and negative attributes of the analyzed image helps the poet to artfully portray the social layers of the people.
