RELIGIOUS VOCABULARY IN POETIC DICTIONARY OF NEONILA STEFURAK

Abstract

In the article analyzes the lexical-stylistic features of the onymes and appellative religious vocabulary of the poetry collection of Neonila Stefurak «Sacred space: Letters to God». It was found out which nomenes the poet used to refer to God and the characters of the Bible. Often, it is God, the Lord, the Father, Less – Messiah, Pan, Savior, Christ, Jesus, Son, Child, Love, Fire, The One Who is, as well as the descriptions of God of consolation, God of freedom, God of obedience, God of love, God of enormous. The construction of poetic texts in the form of letters led to the predominant use of Biblical names in the clique. Occasionally we encounter the names of other Bible characters in poetic texts: Mariia, Madonna, Eve, Adam, Cain, Paulo. Biblical geographic names are attested by the onymams of Sodom and Gomorrah, Golgotha, Tavor, Sinai. In addition to the image of the Lord, which is through the verses of the poetic collection, we find other biblical symbols, not onimes, but appellates. This is the image of an angel, a lamb, a bird. Key concepts in artistic texts are the notion of word, sin, soul, love. Sacred significance here is acquired as concrete nouns: bread, glass, and abstract: the truth is true. The poems of the collection «The Sacred Space: Letters to God» are abundantly embedded in the appellate religious vocabulary, which is grouped into the following lexical-semantic groups: names of religious structures, their parts, elements; names of church and religious attributes; titles of religious books, works; common names of saints; holy names and lexemes derived from them; lexical units connected with prayers, posts, repentances, donations; lexemes that refer to acts related to faith; lexemes related to biblical plots; lexemes that refer to signs related to religious values; lexical units denoting abstract concepts. Among lexical diversity there are many Biblical and religious phrases. Latin words, expressions and Old Slavs are given a special color to the works.
