VARIATION OF THE UKRAINIAN ANTHROPONYMIC FORMULA

Abstract

The article summarized and supplemented key information about the current Ukrainian official anthroponymic formula in terms of variation in the number and sequence of its components, as well as their graphic design. A number of tasks were performed to realize this purpose. We have found and described some changes in the quantitative composition of the Ukrainian official anthroponymic formula in those documents where identification of the person is important, characterized some versions of the Ukrainian official anthroponymic formula in documentation of management activities, traced changes in the sequence of anthroponymic formula components, have reached the conclusion about the complete and relative independence of components in the Ukrainian anthroponymic formula. The final area of investigation was graphic design of the anthroponymic formula in the documents. The object of the research is a modern Ukrainian official anthroponymic formula; the subject of the research is variation in the number and sequence of components in the Ukrainian anthroponymic formula, their graphic design. In this article we use the descriptive and comparative methods in the first place. As a result of the study it was found that the highest level of official document (for example, state registers and lists), then the wider application of anthroponymic formula with three components. However, even the most conservative sphere, where the aim is to identify the person as accurately as possible, is gradually exposed to the influence of globalization processes. As a result of this, the modern anthroponymic formula is increasingly represented by two lexemes without the name of the father (as a passport of the citizen of Ukraine for travel abroad). We must admit elimination of patronymic in some requisites of organizational and executive documents. There are transformations of the anthroponymic formula in the manner of addressing one another in the written form, which is in contrast with the practice of verbal communication. Despite the free order of the components in the anthroponymic formula, we fix restrictions for the name and the patronymic’s version. All components of the Ukrainian anthroponymic formula can be used with full and relative independence depending on the discourse. In the article the strawman theory is outlined as well as variants of the case letter in documents.
