ONYMS OF THE WORLD CULTURAL DIAPASON IN THE POETIC WORKS OF N. ZEROV

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the onyms’ functional features that nominate the realities of world history and culture in the poetic discourse of the famous Ukrainian neo-classical poet M. Zerov. The connotative and expressive filling of anthroponyms and toponyms in the context of the writer’s poetry, their part in creating artistic integrity of the works are characterized. It has been stated that onyms in the creative laboratory of the writer are the structural component that is transformed into a bright artistic device for expressing the author’s ideological and aesthetic conception. It has been proved that proper names have a wide functional diapason; due to their informativeness short poetic text acquires a semantic capacity, and onyms act as distinctive identifiers. It has been stated that in the poetic discourse of N. Zerov, onyms, which are a part of a certain artistic text, as a rule, refer to the same circle – temporal, spatial, cultural. However, there are examples of purposeful "collision" of the proper names belonging to the different temporal or cultural circles that is caused by the individual and aesthetic tasks of the author. N. Zerov widely uses onyms with semantic violations that adds expressiveness to a poetic text.
