Лексикографічні аспекти ономастикону новел Василя Стефаника

Abstract

The article describes the variety of onomastic lexical units in Vasyl Stefanyk’s short stories, published during his lifetime. We suggest a method of their lexicographic description, explain the relationship between onomastic lexical units and the character in the literary text. The text corpus of V. Stefanyk's life short stories makes it possible to single out and classify onomastic vocabulary, its quantitative characteristics. The study of onomastics in literary works by Ukrainian scientists has begun actively at the end of the previous century. Representatives of Ukrainian scientific onomastic schools are dedicating their work to this area of onomastics. The relevance of our study is determined by the need for a detailed analysis of literary onomastics of short stories by V. Stefanyk, for it has never been thoroughly studied so far and can be treated as one of the components of the language dictionary of the author's short stories. To create a dictionary entry of such a type, we consider it necessary to use a complete sample of the short stories to collect all onomastic units and contexts of their use, and methods of component and contextual analysis. Preparatory work is based on systemic and functional approaches. This dictionary should not only record the use of proper names in literary texts, but also show the connection between them, contain information about their variants. Therefore, the information reflected in the dictionary entry of the literary onomastic unit should be linguistic, literary, and literary-onomastic. Words of this type in Vasyl Stefanyk's short stories are not numerous. Accordingly, anthroponyms predominate and are more diverse, the rest are much less numerous (theonyms, chrononym, toponyms). All of them are to be included in the general dictionary register of the vocabulary of V. Stefanyk's short stories with the corresponding notes or comments. Next to the lemma we indicate the number of uses in all short stories. Regarding the type of definition, it is declaratory and mainly predicative, rarely – referencing. We provide quotations from the works published in the jubilee edition (1933) and three short stories that were not included in it, so, in our opinion, it will be sufficient to indicate the title of the short story and the page in the edition where it was used. As for the word forms, we use the format of a word index, where each form is presented separately at the end of the relevant main vocabulary entry with the indication of number of uses the title of the short story and the page in the edition where it was used. Further thorough study of onomasticon in V. Stefanyk's written works using descriptive, stylistic, quantitative methods, contrastive and etymological analysis is needed.
