Abstract

The paper deals with lexical blends functioning in Y. Pashkovskyi’s work Щоденний жезл [Everyday warder]. It is said that a striking picture of Ukraine being on the way of economic, political, and social collapse can be seen through neologisms in Ukrainian postmodern literature. The study provides the characteristics of Ukrainian blends, discusses their structures, and examines the development of their constituent parts (the so-called splinters) into new morphemes. The different kinds of contexts in which blends tend to occur characterizing the current political and social situation in Ukraine are analyzed. The comparative analysis of Ukrainian blends as single words and in contexts has also been made in this research.
