Abstract
The article is dedicated to the study of phraseological units with an anthroponym component in the Ukrainian language. In particular, it is noted that this phraseological microsystem was never studied within the Ukrainian language as a separate subject, but only in conjunction with studying phraseological units with a proper name component in general.
The analysis carried out makes it possible to single out three main groups of phraseological units with an anthroponym component depending on origin: 1) those with commonly used anthroponyms, male names in most cases; 2) those with anthroponyms of biblical origin; and 3) those with anthroponyms of mythological origin.
On the basis of semantic features, nine most essential groups were identified in this phraseological microsystem. It is emphasized that the absolute majority of phraseological units with an anthroponym component are associated with a description of a person, his character traits, mental processes, actions and states, etc. A significant part of the phraseological units within this microsystem characterize abstract concepts and various situations, and only a small number of them are used to designate material merits or, vice versa, shortcomings of a person, his behavior, actions, etc.
A structural-syntactic analysis of phraseological units with an anthroponym component is also carried out. It is stated that in terms of structure, the lion’s share of phraseological units of this microsystem correspond to a word combination with a subordinate connection to a greater extent, and with a coordinative connection to a lesser extent. A part of phraseological units with an anthroponym component also correspond to a combination of words, a common figure of speech and a subordinate clause of a complex sentence. The models used to construct phraseological units with an anthroponym component are described in detail.
The factual phraseological material indicates that variance is a nontypical phenomenon for the phraseological units of the analyzed microsystem, especially for phraseological units with an anthroponym component of biblical origin and the same units of mythological origin.
Keywords: phraseological unit, phraseological macro- and microsystems, typology, anthroponym, semantics, syntactic structure.
