Abstract
The lexicon for the designation of concepts significant for the historical memory of Ukrainians, the criteria for its selection and description in modern explanatory dictionaries have been analyzed in this article. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of the terms nationally marked lexicon, historical memory of Ukrainians as well as the problem of restoration in the active language usage of the studied lexical group in the completeness and originality of its semantics and form. The consequences of the strategy of blocking by the imperial ideology are considered on the basis of the designations of concepts from the history of the Ukrainian Cossacks, the special importance of this group of nationally marked lexicon in the modern military circumstances of the fight against Russian aggressors is emphasized. Using the example of the phrase чорноморський козак and the composite чорноморці, removed from the dictionaries of the Soviet period it is demonstrated that not only the concept related to the history of Ukraine, but also their designation, has been removed from the historical memory of Ukrainians.
The words кубанці and кубанка, as well as the word лугар, represent a different strategy – the preservation of the name, but the removal from its conceptional image of markers connected with the history and culture of Ukrainians. The significance of the works of historians, culturologists, sociologists, philosophers, folklore, and fiction, primarily those under the ban in the Soviet era, for a complete and objective presentation of nationally marked lexicon in Ukrainian dictionaries of the 21st century is discussed. The importance of the analyzed lexical groups for the restoration of blocked concepts in the historical and cultural memory of Ukrainians is considered, and their educational role in the formation of Ukrainian national identity is substantiated.
Key words: national marked lexicon, historical memory of Ukrainians, active explanatory dictionary, national identity.
