Heading<\/strong>: \u201cThis text is not mine \u2013 it is, like in a slow dance, \u0410 change of figures, rules, and norms\u2026\u201d (THE LANGUAGE OF ARTISTIC CREATIVITY OF OKSANA ZABUZHKO)
\nLanguage<\/strong>: Ukrainian<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong>
\nThis article is devoted to the study of holophrastic constructions in the language of Oksana Zabuzhko, a poet, prose writer, essayist, and representative of Ukrainian postmodernism. Holophrastic constructions are the result of an unusual method of word formation called holophrasis, which consists in transforming a syntactic unit into a lexical one.
\nIn semantic terms, GC with transparent semantics are particularly noteworthy. The purpose of creating such units is the need to designate a complex object that is integral in the author\u2019s worldview, several objects as a single entity.
\nDespite the clarity of such units, there is almost always a nuance in meaning, in its connotative component, or in the cultural background of the creation of a holophrastic construction. If the prepositions of the author and the reader coincide, the image becomes more expressive.
\nDirect or indirect references to well-known texts are contained in units with opaque semantics, whose meaning is not determined by the meaning of their elements. They contain coded references to well-known foreign and Ukrainian texts. These are allusive and quotational holophrastic constructions.
\nThe \u201cbuilding blocks\u201d of Oksana Zabuzhko\u2019s holophrastic constructions are often idioms, linguistic clich\u00e9s, and collocations.
\nFormally, the writer\u2019s holophrastic constructions consist of varying numbers of components, ranging from two to nine.
\nKey words<\/strong>: Oksana Zabuzhko\u2019s language, lexis, semantics, holophrasis, holophrastic construction.<\/p>\n
