SUMMARY

The proposed article presents a comprehensive linguistic analysis of structural and semantic transformations of the phraseological fund in contemporary prose works by prominent Ukrainian women writers. The research focuses on identifying mechanisms by which established linguistic units acquire new contextual meanings under the influence of individual authorial vision. The work systematizes in detail the most common types of modifications used in contemporary female artistic discourse. In particular, the specifics of the use of component inversion, lexical expansion of the structure of idioms, elliptical reduction, as well as complete or partial deformation of the lexical composition of phraseology are revealed. A special emphasis is placed on the research and study of complex combined transformations that combine several levels of change simultaneously. It is determined that the author's update of phraseology is due to the desire of writers to deautomatize reader perception and enhance the pragmatic impact of works. Modified constructions in modern women's prose perform a number of key functions: from creating a specific stylistic coloring to deeply revealing the psychological subtext of the narrative. It is proven that through rethinking traditional language formulas, authors adapt phraseology to current socio-cultural conditions, giving their works a special emotional richness and intellectual fullness. It is established that transformational processes in the field of phraseology are not only a stylistic technique, but also a powerful tool of selfexpression, allowing to form a unique linguistic picture of the world. The authors prove that it is through the creative processing of idioms that the individualization of artistic speech occurs, which makes women's prose an expressive phenomenon of modern Ukrainian literature.

Key words: phraseological unit, structural-semantic transformation, women's prose, artistic discourse, inversion, author's style, expressivization.

SUMMARY

The relevance of the study is driven by the transformational processes in the field of professional communication within law enforcement agencies and the need for proper linguo-pragmatic, regulatory, and socio-cultural conceptualization of police discourse in the context of globalization. Despite the existence of individual linguistic studies, a number of issues related to the verbal implementation of power, conflict de-escalation strategies, terminological unification, and ethical standards of police communication with citizens in English, German, and Ukrainianspeaking environments require additional scientific analysis from a comparative linguistic perspective. The aim of the article is to investigate the structural, semantic, pragmatic, and legal features of police discourse in Ukraine and selected foreign countries (the UK, the USA, and Germany) to formulate grounded proposals for improving the professional training and speech culture of national police personnel. The study employs formal-legal, comparativetypological, discourse-analytical, logical-semantic methods, and the method of contextual interpretation. As a result of the study, it was established that the linguo-legal basis of police discourse in Ukraine is formed by the provisions of specialized legislation and departmental regulations, which define speech etiquette and communication algorithms during the performance of official duties. It was revealed that the Ukrainian model is characterized by a transition from imperative-directive to service-oriented speech strategies, which leads to changes in the lexical content of the discourse and the emergence of new communicative clichés. It was proven that the pragmatic basis of police discourse in the English language relies significantly on precedent speech acts and standardized warning formulas, which enhances the legal significance of verbal interaction. It was found that German police discourse is distinguished by a high degree of nominalization and terminological precision, ensuring objectivity in recording offenses in procedural documentation. Comparative analysis showed that in Anglo-American and German traditions, police discourse is combined with well-developed mechanisms of linguistic expertise of law enforcement speech, transparency of communicative scenarios, and a clear distinction between official and operational speech styles. It was substantiated that Ukrainian police discourse generally develops in line with Western democratic standards (“Community Policing”), yet requires further lexicographic processing and harmonization with international standards of professional communication. The practical value of the work lies in clarifying the linguopragmatic nature of police discourse, identifying its key cognitivediscursive characteristics, and determining elements of foreign linguistic experience that are significant for increasing the efficiency of law enforcement activities, ensuring human rights during communication, and forming a positive image of the police in Ukrainian society.

Key words: police discourse, professional communication, linguopragmatics, legal linguistics, comparative linguistic analysis, speech strategies, police speech culture.

SUMMARY

The article presents a contrastive analysis of the features of syntactic relations as realized in Ukrainian literary texts and their translations. The research material comprises Ukrainian literary works of the nineteenth century belonging to different genres, namely P. Kulish’s novel «The Black Council» and T. Shevchenko’s poems «Haidamaky» and «Hamalija», as well as their English translations. The relevance of the study is determined by the need for an in-depth examination of the syntactic organization of literary texts in connection with issues of interlingual interpretation and translation equivalence. Moreover, scholars have not previously addressed a contrastive analysis of the syntactic structure of historical literary works and their English translation interpretations. The main focus is placed on the analysis of types of syntactic relations (coordination, subordination, and asyndetic connection), the specificity of their formal-grammatical and semantic-pragmatic expression, as well as the role of syntactic constructions in creating imagery and expressiveness in literary discourse. The study establishes that Ukrainian literary discourse is characterized by variability of syntactic structures, active use of asyndetic connection, inversion, parcellation, and rhythmized constructions, which is обусловлено by the traditions of national poetics and the folkloric foundation of the texts. In contrast, English translations of Ukrainian literary texts demonstrate a tendency toward greater syntactic orderliness, explicit expression of logical-semantic relations, and a predominance of subordinate constructions. Considerable attention is paid to translation transformations, in particular grammatical substitution, sentence segmentation, and sentence integration, which are employed to preserve the stylistic dominant and pragmatic potential of the source text. The contrastive analysis proves that differences in the realization of syntactic relations are conditioned by the typological features of the languages, the cultural-historical context, and the specificity of artistic thinking.

Key words: syntactic relations, complex sentence, literary discourse, contrastive analysis, coordination, subordination, asyndetic connection.

SUMMARY

The article, drawing on a wealth of linguistic material, explores Slavic phraseological units that reflect the symbolics of kalach. The powerful cultural symbolics of kalach as an archaic cultural symbol, clearly represented in Slavic phraseology, is described. The author concludes that the sacred symbolics of kalach, fixed mainly by regional phraseology, its protective and productive functions, and its exceptionally important role in baptismal and wedding rituals, has a deep mythodological basis and is assosiated with the cult of the sun – an ancient sacred symbol, a source of life-given force, sublimity and happiness, the round shape of wich is encoded in such symbols established in folk culture as the kalach, korovay, vinok, wedding ring and others. That is why in Slavic phraseology, the kalach appears as a symbol of abundance, well-being and good fortune. The functional role of kalach, its ontological properties are understood in Slavic phraseology within the framework of semiotic oppositions and highlight various aspects of the human personality, life experience, etc. Kalach appears in the center of a number of prescriptions established in culture. The vivid and multifaceted representation of kalach in Slavic phraseology, primarily Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian, indicates the exceptional cultural load of this term, placing it in the category of powerful cultural symbols. In the process of research, a rich phraseological material was involved, the methodology of ethnolinguistic and cultural analysis, semiotic analysis, the method of structural and semantic modeling and the substitution technique were applied.

Key words: Slavic phraseology, cultural symbol, mythological background, semiotic opposition, cultural prescription, conceptual metaphor, Slavic cultural tradition.

SUMMARY

The paper aims to address the phenomenon of the typology of lexical meaning evolution in the Indo-European languages. Particularly, it is about a significant group of semantically monotypic lexemes (nouns and adjectives), which regularly develop the meaning ʻignorantʼ, whereby demonstrating same semantic shift. The criterion of “sameness” implies that not only the secondary sememes ʻignorantʼ, ʻuneducated person’ should be identical in the analyzed sum of synonyms, but also their original meanings ʻrudeʼ, ʻroughʼ, ʻuncouthʼ, ʻunknownʼ, ʻunfamiliarʼ; and such correlation in the pair “original sememe” : “second sememe” must be traceable in all languages, used in the liguistic analysis. Thus, the results of this study testify about typicality of the above mentioned semantic shift, that can be modeled by determining (a) the initial and the final stages of the semantic change; (b) the same vector of the semantic evolution of the synonymous words; (c) diachronic reproducibility of the model of the semantic change in the different periods of the separate languages history.

Key words: semantics, model of the semantic development, caritive, privative, prefix.
