LITERARY-ARTISTIC ANTHROPONYMS IN FAIRY TALES

Abstract

Our research is devoted to the study of the literary heritage of Vasyl Sukhomlynskyi, in particular literary and artistic anthroponyms. We determined the aspects that are dominant in the formation of the literary and artistic anthroponymicon of Vasyl Sukhomlynskyi. Anthroponyms are an important element of an artistic work, as they contribute to the creation of an artistic image, help to realize the authorʼs worldview. Proper names are included in the universal categories of artistic text. The writerʼs work on the anthroponymic space of the artistic text involves the selection of own names from the real world or the creation of new names based on known models. Proper names help the reader to better perceive the artistic text, decipher the authorʼs intention. Nowadays, linguists are increasingly interested in proper names in literary texts, as evidenced by numerous scientific studies. LHA in the literary works of Vasyl Sukhomlynskyi are carefully selected, ensure the realism and veracity of the created images. In the analyzed texts, 41 literary and artistic anthroponyms were identified, which, in addition to the nominative function, also perform a localization, sociological, characteristic, expressive and evaluative function, and also determine the authorʼs attitude to the character. The work revealed that the localization function is manifested in the fact that the author chooses Christian names for the characters – children of peasants, hardworking people, with pronounced character traits, reproducing Ukrainian traditions as much as possible Vasyl Sukhomlynskyiʼs works represent a variety of subjects and plots, constitute an inseparable artistic whole, testify to the authorʼs unique idiostyle, which is particularly reflected in his own titles. The peculiarities of research and analysis of artistic anthroponymy are revealed in the fact that linguists study the anthroponymy of an artistic text, focusing on peopleʼs proper names, their origin, structure, frequency of use, social and national characteristics. Scientists draw attention to the incompleteness and openness of the classification model of literary and artistic onyims, offering their own classifications of anthroponyms. In addition to the study of the structure of the Ukrainian onomasticon with the division of the anthroponymicon, scientists classify LHA according to the functional and stylistic load. Key words: onomastics, anthroponyms, literary and artistic anthroponyms, linguistics.
