Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the criteria of national identity of the language personality. E.H. Erickson’s research model of identity is substantiated in the projection on the biography and formation of the Ukrainian-centric worldview of Ahatanhel Krymskyi: entry into Ukrainian verbal culture, formation of worldview dominants, polyphony of personality, circumstances of life and creative activity and their influence on personality. It is argued that language is one of the dominant criteria of identity realized in human activity.
The projection of identification criteria E.Kh. Erickson on the linguistic personality of A. Krymskyi’s includes an analysis of the methods formed by scientists to study the material. The principles of scientific interpretation acquired at the Lazarev Institute include different perspectives – research and educational, which complement the argument. A. Krymskyi’s Eastern studies deepen scientific observations also in the aspect of translated representations of texts. The encyclopedic personality is harmonized in this case with incredible efficiency. A feature, however, characteristic of ascetic scientists of the Ukrainian Renaissance/
The author came to the conclusion that the dramatic collisions of A. Krymskyi’s creative and personal life, his service to the Ukrainian cause, his conscious choice of life line, determination of priorities allow to develop the criteria of E.Kh. Erickson in the Ukrainian reality. The language, forms of its life and development – a possible, but not the only criterion for identification. Acquired, recognized, rooted in human consciousness, language can become a behavioral, value, worldview of the individual, motivating his activities. However, it is activity that harmonizes the spiritual and natural worlds of man, his existential choice of identification in space and time.
Key words: linguistic personality, national identity, Ukrainian-centric worldview, theory of identification by E.Kh. Erickson, Ahatanhel Krymskyi, Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, activity of creative personality.
