Language means of verbalization of the Ukrainian mentality (based on Kuzma Skriabin’s fairy-tale “Tarasyk, trolleybus and St. Nicholas”) JF - Philological Treatises JA - PT VL - 9 IS - 3 SE - Articles DO - UR - https://tractatus.sumdu.edu.ua/index.php/journal/article/view/189 SP - 35-43 AB - <p>The article deals with the problem of the language means of verbalization of the Ukrainian people<br>mentality based on linguistic analysis of the text of modern fairy-tale “Тarasyk, trolleybus and St.<br>Nicholas”. Its author is Andriy Kuzmenko (Kuzma Skriabin), a leader of the musical group<br>“Skriabin”. The research object is predefined by the fact that musician and writer Kuzma Skriabin is<br>a representative of the modern national elite. His spiritual world and creative activity are deeply<br>related to the originality of the Ukrainian people. An attempt to find out the essential features of<br>representation of the concepts "miracle", "happiness", "family" and "child" is done in the article.<br>Different forms of diminutives and their functions are analyzed here. They are motivated by<br>national psychological features of native speakers, such as tenderness, meekness, lyricism, and<br>others. We also distinguish other characteristics of the Ukrainian mentality, which are reflected in the<br>author’s fairy-tale – individualism, freedom, religiousness, sincerity, mercifulness, and respect to the<br>woman.<br>According to the text analysis, concepts "family" and "child" are the most fundamental. They<br>confirm the spasmodicity of Ukrainian literature, which shows the main bastards of the ethnos. The<br>family is a center of a national values system. Education of children, which are the successors of<br>spiritual traditions, also plays an important role in it.</p> ER -
