Abstract<\/strong>
\nThe article is devoted to the study of the rhyme field of LANGUAGE<\/em> and the discovery of rhyming means of reflecting the ethno-cultural specificity of Ukrainians. The structure formed by microfields and the lexical composition of the rhyme field of the LANGUAGE<\/em> have been established. Attention is focused on the core lexeme \u043c\u043e\u0432\u0430, its rhyme-making paradigm and phonological types of rhymes based on it.
\nA comparison of the repertoire of real poetic rhymes, selected from the texts of poets of the 19th \u2013 the first quarter of the 21st century, and the fund of potential rhymes, collected in the common language dictionary of rhymes and the dictionary of rhyming associations, gave grounds to outline permanent rhyme pairs \u2013 rhyming clich\u00e9s, in particular, the epistemological rhyme \u043c\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u2013 \u0441\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043e<\/strong>, genetically related to the language of Ukrainian folklore and book poetry 17th\u201318th centuries, and a number of rhyme-culture-clich\u00e9d rhyme pairs, the second component of which are culturally significant words, word-symbols that create rhyming images of language that are understandable for the bearer of the Ukrainian identity: language that enters a person\u2019s life from an early age from his mother along with her lullaby (\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u2013 \u043a\u043e\u043b\u0438\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0430<\/strong>), language, organic for Ukrainians, a kind of genetic code, the voice of blood, as well as the value for which a person is ready to shed his blood if necessary (\u043c\u043e\u0432 \u2013 \u043a\u0440\u043e\u0432<\/strong>), language related to the spiritual health of the nation and the individual (\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u2013 \u0437\u0434\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430<\/strong>), native language, the refusal of which indicates someone\u2019s recklessness (\u0431\u0435\u0437\u0433\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0439 \u2013 \u043c\u043e\u0432\u0438<\/strong>), language inspired by the \u201cfire of love\u201d (\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0438 \u2013 \u043b\u044e\u0431\u043e\u0432\u0438<\/strong>), language as the basis of \u201cspiritual life\u201d (\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u2013 \u043e\u0441\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430<\/strong>), language associated with Lviv, a city that, according to stereotypes, is a symbol of Ukrainian identity (\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u2013 \u041b\u044c\u0432\u043e\u0432\u0430<\/strong>), literary language, to the formation of which efforts were made by classical writers (\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u2013 \u0424\u0440\u0430\u043d\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0430<\/strong>), language that develops and updates (\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u2013 \u043e\u0431\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430<\/strong>), the language that received the status of official, \u201cmandatory\u201d (\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u2013 \u043e\u0431\u043e\u0432\u2019\u044f\u0437\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0430<\/strong>), a language whose history is associated with compulsions and prohibitions (\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u2013 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u043c\u0443\u0441\u043e\u0432\u0430<\/strong>), language, the belonging of which is decoded through an associative connection with ethno-cultural symbols (\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u2013 \u0434\u0456\u0431\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430, \u043c\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u2013 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0430, \u043c\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u2013 \u041f\u043e\u043a\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430<\/strong>). In poetic texts, such rhymes function as cultural rhymes and, in a broader interpretation, act as a linguistic means of preserving the identity of Ukrainians.
\nThe rimological aspect of studying ethnocultural vocabulary expands knowledge about associative connections between key units of the language picture of the world of Ukrainians.
