PROPER NAMES OF THE LITERARY HEROES IN THE NOVEL "NEVADA BORDER" BY VLADYSLAV IVCHENKO AS ORGANIC COMPONENTS OF THE WORK

Abstract

Scientific research is devoted to the study of character names, because one of the tasks of literary onomastics is the search and reasoned interpretations of the role of proper names of the literary heroes in the works of modern authors.Our goal is to research proper names of the literary heroes that function in the novel "Nevada Border" by V. Ivchenko. The task is to describe proper names of the literary heroes, to reveal their meaning, and to prove that they are organic components of the novel.It is proved that the proper names of V. Ivchenko's novel are the most important words, organic components of the work. The basis of the literary anthroponymicon of the novel are the names and surnames of Ukrainians, which the author borrows from a real noun. The largest number of proper names of the literary heroes are informational and evaluative. Ivchenko's names are not limited by any clichés or prohibitions, they are very capacious, saturated with information, symbols, and evoke appropriate associations, so it is interesting to study them. It was found that the information is present in pre-anthroponymic semantics, it is revealed through the author's characteristic and is expressed by basic connotations. The brightest among all proper names are the nicknames of both local people and the call signs of Ukrainian fighters. The motives for the creation of nicknames and call signs are impressive. The author gives excellent examples of how a nickname was passed down from generation to generation, sometimes acquiring diminutive suffixes, or underwent other changes under the influence of the Russian anthroposystem.Among the representatives of the enemy camp, there are also many telling surnames and nicknames. The names of real people in the novel are associated with a certain historical era, so they "mostly serve as the temporal framework of a literary work." In the historical storyline, names and nicknames of the most diverse origins are intertwined.Ivchenko gave some characters the names of famous people from different time zones, thus the author's postmodern style was manifested in the names. Our study will expand the general idea of proper names of the literary heroes as the basic components of the onymic system that create an image.
