MODIFICATION OF COMPARATIVE REFERENCES IN UKRAINIAN POETRY OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of studying the modification of linguistic means of phraseological units, namely comparative references, indicated by the author's individuality in Ukrainian poetry. Transformation undergoes different in origin and stylistic color comparative appeals. The most widespread transformations of comparative returns have been identified and characterized, and the peculiarity of such a change is the author's desire to increase the expressiveness of the language, including the creation of comic effect through various linguistic means.
The objects of the comparisons under study are distinguished by thematic diversity. The semantics of the comparative reference itself or the contractual comparative part does not contain irony. The comic effect only arises when the comparison with the context, with the subject of comparison. In the field of critical appraisal and, as a result, irony, people, their demeanor, behavior, character, and activity fall. Animals, humans, biblical characters, etc. are the objects of comparative aphorisms.
The originality and diversity of Neddy Nezhdan's individually-authorial comparisons mark the poet's moral and ethical appraisal, reflecting her lyrical heroine's attitude to men's perceptions, their ironic appraisal of relationships with them.
