Abstract

Thesis by the published monograph for a Doctoral Degree in Philology, Speciality 10.02.01 – the Ukrainian Language. The thesis for the first time in Ukrainian linguistics comprehensively and multifacetedly characterizes the linguapsychoaccentuation theory, which has become the development of the study about psychological accentuation, particularly initiated in medicine and then projected into a modern interdisciplinary knowledge paradigm, that made it possible to have formed a new and promising scientific direction in Ukrainian psycholinguistics, an innovative study, and as well to have developed a new research methodology. Focusing much scholarly attention upon the negative impact of accentuations in the past had definitely led to a simplified view of this phenomenon. Therefore, a need had emerged for a new understanding of the accentuation phenomenon as a psychological linguistic consciousness construct which, accordingly, affects the formation of a language personality’s idiostyle, and idiolect, and contains concealed information about it. The paper comprehensively presents the linguapsychoaccentuation theory, outlines the present state of its being explored in an interdisciplinary paradigm with a focus on linguistic issues, traces the stages of its formation and development in terms of the psycholinguistic ideas presented by Ukrainian linguists, characterizes the foreign linguists’ methodology impact on its formation. The term apparatus of linguistic-psychoaccentuation research is comprehensively characterized with the selection of problematic and debatable issues; the introduction of clarifying terms is justified. The understanding of the text concept through the prism of linguistic and psycholinguistic parameters is explained, the proper idiolect and idiostyle definitions from the standpoint of the psycholinguistics theory is proposed, taking into account the linguapsychoaccentuation theory postulates. The types as well as constant and optional linguapsychoaccentuation signs are described, their generalized classification system is proposed, the lexicographic 433 interpretation of individual definitions is deepened, the reflection of this theory in modern Ukrainian manuals on psycholinguistics is traced. In addition, the methodical algorithm for identifying signs that reflect the accentuated features of the text author is characterized, taking into account the extralingual factors system, textual and discursive parameters that are manifested in the realization of psychological concepts, the verbalization of certain vocabulary thematic groups (namely, colorism, somatism, etc.), and in learning of certain grammatical means, as well as modeling of appropriate communicative strategies and tactics, verbal and non-verbal means, embodiment of relevant discursive-textual categories, including discursive words, tendencies to model peculiar ornamentation, individual authorial creativity manifestation. The experience of related humanitarian and natural sciences is involved in the text decoding procedure. The thesis associates the updating of the linguapsychoaccentuation theory with its projection not only on the fiction text (discourse), but also on the ego-textual space (memoirs, diaries, letters, biography and other secondary texts); as well as with new approaches to textual analysis, which involves understanding the text (discourse) at the linguapersonology theory level and the manifestation of individual authorial creativity (creative linguistics). A new approach has been developed for the complex analysis of hysteroid linguapsychoaccentuation based on the material of fiction and ego-texts by Lesia Ukrainka. On the basis of empirical material, the existence of certain linguapsychoaccentuation types in other iconic figures of Ukrainian language culture has been proven: hysterodyne (P. Kulish), hyperthymic (V. Vynnychenko), paranoid (I. Ohiienko). In the texts elaborated by individual writers, two types of linguistic and psychoaccentuation have been revealed: affective- exalted and emotional (T. Shevchenko), paranoid and depressive (M. Kotsiubynskyi), depressive and narcissistic (O. Kobylianska), epileptoid and introverted (F. Potushniak), depressive and slightly introverted (I. Chendei). The analysis of P. Skunets’ incomplete discursive-textual space has showed the impossibility of unambiguously defining his linguapsychoaccentuation dominant type, which proves the need to involve the writer’s entire discursive-textual space in the analysis, 434 rather than its individual parts. The paper outlines the possibility of distinguishing another linguapsychoaccentuation type — the ambivert, and determines the need to highlight the linguapsychoaccentuation theory in modern language didactics. The thesis claims that the research procedure can be extrapolated to the figurative means system as well as text (discourse) of Ukrainian linguistic culture key figures. The psychological aspect of the language personality provides wide opportunities not only for their psychological portraiture, but also makes it possible to make certain generalizations about the psychoconsciousness of the Ukrainian nation in general, characterizing its genetic code certain features.
