Abstract
The article analyses the linguistic and aesthetic cultural signs (MEZK) as markers of the national picture of the world of Ukrainians, focusing on the poetic discourse of Ukrainian neoclassics. The poetic language of the neoclassics organically combines the achievements of the world classics and national traditions, creating a rich cultural space full of images and symbols, including earth, fire, and Ukraine. The linguistic and aesthetic development of MEZK in their discourse demonstrates the complexity and diversity of these signs, which is due to both internal artistic needs and external socio-historical factors. The article traces traditional and modern contextual syntagmatic and paradigmatic connections between the nominations earth, fire, and Ukraine. This interpretation contributes to the consolidation of characteristic connotations associated with national and cultural connotations in the poetic and common language vocabulary. The reception and interpretation of the images of land, fire, and Ukraine in the poetry of the neoclassics are multidimensionally based on the folklore and mythological tradition, while reflecting the latest socio-political connotations motivated by the times. These processes demonstrate the complex and multifaceted nature of linguistic and aesthetic cultural signs that are markers of the national picture of the world of Ukrainians.
Key words: linguistic and aesthetic cultural sign, national picture of the world, national and cultural connotations, ethnoconotation, semantics.
