Abstract<\/strong>
\nThe article examines semantically opposed lexemes recorded in Lina Kostenko\u2019s poetic dictionary. There were characterized the most representative oppositions, semantically opposed components of which are correlated with temporal concepts: day \u2013 night, daytime \u2013 night, yesterday \u2013 tomorrow, yesterday \u2013 today, today \u2013 tomorrow, yesterday\u2019s \u2013 tomorrow\u2019s,<\/em> etc. The axiologically marked nomenclatures of human feelings productive in the poetess\u2019s language creation are analyzed: love \u2013 hate; joy \u2013 sadness, longing; happiness \u2013 trouble; cheerful \u2013 sad; laugh \u2013 cry, sob; happy \u2013 unhappy,<\/em> etc. They represent polar feelings, emotions and the state of mind for the lyrical hero.
\nIt was found that entire poetic passages are often built on lexical oppositions, in which a holistic contrasting image is conveyed with the help of partial oppositions.
\nIt is emphasized that a characteristic feature of Lina Kostenko\u2019s idiostyle is the widespread use of oxymoronic syntagms as a means of individualizing the artistic narrative in order to express mental state of the character and the contradictory essence of the described phenomena.
\nIt is emphasized that the expressiveness of linguistic contrast in Lina Kostenko\u2019s poetic vocabulary is enhanced by the following syntactic-stylistic constructions: parcellation, combination of opposites, opposition of opposites, negation of opposites, identification of depicted contrasting phenomena. It is noted that the use of double oppositions in the titles (initial lines) of poems is indicative for Lina Kostenko\u2019s poetic idiolect.
\nKey words<\/strong>: antithesis, emotive antonymic lexemes, idiolect, individual-authorial metaphor, opposition, oxymoronic syntagm, temporal relations.<\/p>\n
