Abstract
The article explores the lexical structure and linguistic-stylistic features of the language image of Ukraine in Halyna Pahutiak’s novel “The Kingdom”. It is revealed that the image of Ukraine is presented implicitly. The lexeme Kingdom is used as a metaphorical designation that evokes strong associations with contemporary Ukraine in the reader’s mind. The lexico-semantic field of the language image Kingdom includes lexemes with positive linguistic-stylistic semantics: names of persons, denotations of national culture, and abstract concepts related to history, education, language, and the mental-imaginative world of Ukrainians. It is proved that the dominants of the image Kingdom are nationally and culturally marked vocabulary: book, word, letter, parchment, document, binding, library, bookstore, archive, museum, school, and others. The article highlights the mechanisms of constructing a nationally oriented narrative that projects the Ukrainian linguistic worldview.
Key words: verbal image, lexical-semantic field, linguostylistic semantics, textual connotation.
