Психоакцентуація мовної свідомості Лесі Українки в її листах до Михайла Драгоманова

Abstract

The discourse of Lesya Ukrainka’s letters has been studied with the use of the method of psychological accentuation for the first time in this arti- cle. Cognitive structures of the accentuated linguistic consciousness of the writer are traced through the verbal expression of demonstrative traits (frequent nomi- nations for foreign languages, the symbolism of the pseudonym, the actualisation of social, household, and somatic vocabulary). The necessity of involving letters and facts of biography for the reconstruction of writers’ psychological portraits and inherited linguistic abilities is proved.
