| Summary: | The aim of the article is to study the semantic and word-forming features of verbal neolexems of
individual author’s in the newspaper language of the late twentieth century. Newspapers of this period
may contain neolexems, because the Ukrainian language was at a new stage of its development, Ukraine’s
independence. This affected the emergence of new words, as the press daily informed about news in various
spheres of life and reflects reality entirely, in dialectical development and has unbounded opportunities
to replenish the language vocabulary. To achieve the goal we should solve the following issues: to identify
verbal neolexems in the newspaper text of the analyzed period; to explore the means of word formation of
individual-authorial verb forms; analyze the meaning of neolexems, pay attention to the semantic features
of new words.
This goal requires the use of appropriate research methods: structural, the internal organization of
language is analyzed, where the elements are related to a certain system of relations; descriptive, it gives
the opportunity to consider the features of the neolexems semantics; method of contextual analysis, the
functioning of neolexemes is examined in context and their functions, stylistics and context are identified.
Verb neolexems of individual author’s are much less represented compared to other parts of speech.
These are words that have a peculiar semantic nature and functional and stylistic purpose. They were
found to belong to the non-systemic speech phenomena, which illustrate the ways and forms of language
development of a particular period, reflect the interrelation between language and speech, and update the
word-forming and figurative possibilities of the Ukrainian language. Neolexems demonstrate a violation
of grammatical, word-forming, semantic norms, which is due to a certain guideline – to be a source of
expressiveness.
Neolexems of the studied period preserve the semantics of the corresponding formation bases, but
thanks to prefixes and suffixes they transform meanings, expand associations and increase the semantic
volume of expression. They attract with their original interrelation between the traditional content of
the word and the new semantic form. Such formations enrich the semantics of the sentence, expand the
associative connections with other lexemes, consequently the context acquires a unique meaning, which
enhances the expressiveness of the whole utterance.
Authorial verbs, adjectives and adverbs are always expressive and original. They create not only a
vivid verbal image, but also have high informativeness due to their structural features.
The subject of the study will constantly need further research, as neolexems are associated with
changes in language. In addition, due to the analysis of word-forming possibilities of individual-author
elements it will be possible to draw conclusions about productive and non-productive ways of word
formation at different stages of language development. |
