In the article for the fi rst time in domestic linguistics the vocabulary of the poetic collection of Pavlo Tychyna «Sunny Clarinets» has become the subject of complex analysis. The vocabulary features are systemically analyzed; the contextual features of lexemes usage in the poems have been traced; the classifi cation of the vocabulary used in the fi rst poetic collection of Pavlo Tychyna, according to its meaning, morphological identity and origin, has been carried out; the role of Pavlo Tychyna in enriching the artistic style of the Ukrainian language has been clarifi ed; the ratio of specifi c and borrowed elements has been determined; a wide combination of the features of artistic and other functional styles of the Ukrainian language (especially the religious style) has been revealed; the system of occasional features in the poetic language, which infl uenced the further development of the poetic vocabulary in the Ukrainian literature, has been singled out. The analysis of the vocabulary of poetic language allows to deepen the knowledge about the language of Ukrainian literature of the fi rst decades of the 20th century and to trace the peculiarities of new creation, symbol creation and metaphorics in the vocabulary of the fi rst collection of Pavlo Tychyna, to distinguish the most characteristic features of the idiostyle of the author of «Sunny Clarinets» in particular, and the features of the poetic vocabulary of Ukrainian literature of the fi rst half of the 20th century in general.

The conclusions and generalizations of the research extend the notion of the linguistic peculiarities of Ukrainian poetry in the fi rst half of the 20th century, and enrich the knowledge on the history of the development of the Ukrainian literary language of the corresponding time.
