Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of individual and author’s features of the use of color names in Anatolii Moisiienko’s poetic idiolect. The color category is one of the basic components of ethnoculture, since it’s closely connected with the individuals’ ideas about the original cause of the universe, good and evil, joy and sorrow. Color is a psychic and physiological phenomenon, a means of influencing the personality and social consciousness. Each culture has its own color dominants, which are special universal elements of the world picture. Color nominations are effective markers that can be used to study national and individual characteristics, since fantasy and feelings produce the emergence of individual images that reflect the character of the nation. The color designations receive additional associative-connotative semantics in the poetic text. They take part in the creation of bright poetic images, in the transfer of the inner state of the lyrical hero by the author, in the depiction of a particular artistic space. These nominations reflect the conceptual picture of the world of the lyric hero through the linguistic picture of the world. The conducted research has shown that the conceptual picture of the world of the Anatolii Moisiienko’s lyric hero has a bipolar character, which is represented by words denoting bright and dark colors. These colors represent the universal notions of the world of good and evil, white and black. But the author’s feature is that the world of the lyrical hero is represented not only in black or white. In poetry, the author uses the names blue, blue, golden and black. The words that denote the first three colors have a positive or neutral connotation. Poetic contexts with the component “black” help the poet to convey the inner state of the lyric hero (fatigue, apathy) or negative developments. Author’s neologisms with the above component also take part in creating poetic image of time. Using the above words helps the author create a special artistic world, full of bright colors and expression.
