Abstract:
The article describes the features and mechanisms of various types of historical styling (real, locational-event, narrative, compositional, compositional) in the novel by the contemporary Ukrainian fiction writer Yuriy Vinnychuk “Pharmacy” (2015) and “Blood sisters” (2018). The Vynnychuk concept of linguistic historicism is dependent on the specifics of the modified postmodern genres (“phantasmagoric novel on a historical background”), the author's vision of the processing and implantation of text material and narrative strategy. The study of the historical color of the era, based on the historical styling of the system of relations between modern and outdated lexical-stylistic and grammatical means of language aesthetically transformed according to the laws of linguistic harmony and contrast, has a long tradition in Ukrainian linguistics. But the peculiarities of historical styling in the modified postmodern genres, which certainly have their own specifics, because they depend on the author's views on the processing and implantation of text material and narrative strategy, have not yet been the subject of scientific analysis. That is, in the study of the language of the historical (or pseudo-historical) fiction of Vynnychuk, one should take into account not only the objective need to convey the linguistic color of the era, but also a subjective artistic guideline for the mystification and phantasmagorization of historical discourse. The introduction to the texture of the text of material and stylistic archaisms for the chronological and localization of the epoch belongs to the most traditional techniques of “real” stylization of the presentation. In the text “Pharmacist” of such words used more than 500. The choice of lexemes dictated the plot itself and the scenery of the text: the vast majority of scenes of the novel occur in typical medieval city locations: in the magistrate, the court room, the locksmiths, pharmacies, in the houses and palaces of the Lviv patricians, in the witches' hut and the rooms of the kata, on Lviv squares and in the narrow streets with taverns and taverns. The high level of historical authenticity have artistic space, topography and anthroponymy of the text, which is the basis of location-event stylization. The spatial-temporal chronotope, created from some interesting loci, presents Lviv's epoch of the Middle Ages and directly the atmosphere of the urban space of this time. Despite the fact that the “Pharmacy” was created on the basis of a traditional linear model with a chronologically ordered plot with minor retrospective branches, it is difficult to call its narrative architectural a typical one. Along with the traditional detached observer-observer, who follows a narrative from a third person, the narrative discourse of the main character that speaks on its behalf (i.e., i-naration) operates in the text. In the text there are a lot of microfragments with pseudo-historical citations from Starovich chronicles, scientific treatises, books and manuscripts of Lviv magistrate, letters and memoirs, in which Vynnichuk is practiced in medieval book-keeping and syntax. The intensity of archiation and historical colocation of quotations depends on genre and sociolinguistic features of fragments. The perspective direction of the study of Vynnychuk style is the observation of styling techniques (temporal, regional, social) in other texts of the writer of the Lviv cycle and a comparison of his idiostyle with the creative recipe of colleagues from the literary workshop.
