Purpose. To investigate the author’s transformations of ethnocultural archetype mother earth in the individual poetic styles of O. Dovzhenko and T. Osmachka.Methods. With this aim we used the comparative method, as well as the methods of partial search and of seme componential analysis.Results. The author of the article gives a comparative analysis of the associative connections and verbal means which give creative representation of the image of mother earth in the literary output of the two authors. It is noted that the both writers interpret archetype earth via the metaphor of earth as the mother.For O. Dovzhenko archetype earth is one of the primary archetypes of his poetic style. The earth gives new life, vivifies and re-creates the world so it is associated with a woman, a mother. With the aim of depicting archetypical characteristics of mother earth the writer uses such means of language as popular traditional descriptors (сира, рідна, українська), metaphors (рідні руїни, мертві подвір’я Києва), personification (матернє лоно, лице землі).The individual style of T. Osmachka transforms the archetype mother earth as the facts of life change: the motive of the Mother of God in the image of earth is characteristic for the early period of his writing. The article cites and analyses the examples of overlapping of archetype mother earth with the image of Mother of God and with the image of Ukraine.Also the article examines the image of earth in such metaphoric binaries as перса землі, душа землі, ребра землі, as well as poems “Mein Lieber” and “No” (from the “Racemes of Time” collection written in the emigration) which are emblematic of the transformations of image.Conclusions. The creative heritage of both authors is determined by similar ethnocultural archetypes the individual authorial transformations in which can be found in the texts created during different periods of time. The archetypal image of the mother earth is dominant in style of O. Dovzhenko and T. Osmachka. The author's realizations of the studied archetypal image, as a whole, are the main Ukrainian literary tradition and poetic model of the world. Мета ‒ дослідити авторські трансформації етнокультурного архетипу матір-земля в поетичних ідіостилях О. Довженка та Т. Осьмаки як елемент характеристики простору України, що формує у творах письменників мегаобраз країни, її національ-ну ментальність.Методи. Для аналізу застосовуються методи семно-компонентного аналізу, частково-пошуковий та порівняльний.Результати. Здійснено порівняльний аналіз асоціативних зв’язків та вербальних засобів, що художньо репрезентують образ матері-землі в літературних творах О. Довженка та Т. Осьмачки. Зазначається, що в обох митців розкриття архетипу земля відбувається через метафору материнства.Для О. Довженка архетип земля є одним із провідних архетипів його поетики. Образ матері-землі уособлює, насамперед, джерело наснаги, життєвої сили та мудрості, символізує найбільш надійний захист і підтримку. Для розкриття архетипових рис матері-землі письменник використовує народно-традиційні епітети (сира, рідна, українська), образні словосполучення (рідні руїни, мертві подвір’я Києва), прийом персоніфікації (матернє лоно, лице землі).В ідіостилі Т. Осьмачки архетип матір-земля трансформується зі зміною життєвих реалій. Виявлено, що для раннього періоду творчості письменниці характерний богородичний мотив. Наводяться та аналізуються приклади синтезу архетипу мати-земля, образу Богородиці та образу України. В образах, створених пізніше, провідною основою залишається лише архе-тип мати-земля. Досліджуються персоніфікація образу землі в таких бінармах, як перса землі, душа землі, ребра землі, а також показові щодо трансформації образу поезії «Майн лібер» та «Немає» (збірка «Китиці часу», написана в еміграції).Висновки. Доробок обох авторів детермінований однаковими етнокультурними архетипами, індивідуально автор-ські трансформації яких виявляємо в текстах різних періодів творчості. Архетиповий образ мати-земля є домінантним як в О. Довженка, так і в Т. Осьмачки. Авторські реалізації досліджуваного архетипового образу знаходяться в межах загальної української літературної традиції і поетичної моделі світу.

The paper is devoted to the study of semantic and functional features of expressive derivatives, both usual and occasional, in the artistic gist of the novel “Asan” by V. Makanin, as well as their role in structuring the individual-author’s linguistic picture of the world. It has been proven that the derivation of expressive lexemes is the result of improvisation according to established patterns, and that the formation of occasional substantives, adjectives and verbs involved the main methods of the Russian word derivation. It is noted that in the artistic discourse of V. Makanin, in the substantive word-formation, suffixation plays a leading role, which takes place in the sphere of abstractness and includes such lexical-semantic groups as expressive substantives with the meaning of a person, expressive substantives with the meaning of abstracted action or an abstract feature with connotation, as a rule, negative and/or reduced colloquial connotation. While in the sphere of adjectival and verbal word formation, confixation and prefixation, as the formation of expressiveness, is most productive. The paper considers the phenomenon of semantic word formation, describes the formation of semantic derivatives, including in the field of occasional vocabulary. Expressive derivatives in the artistic discourse of V. Makanin are a bright sign of his individual style, an important means of expressing the world view and outlook of the writer.

Environmental activism and preservation of the land, acknowledgement of our shared responsibilities to the planet, to unci maka, to Mother Earth, to our home; these are obligations of love we as human beings embrace with devoted regularity. But what happens when we look at stories that might destroy the world entirely, might remold, reshape, reclaim and remake (or perhaps even “rename” in a restorative move) our histories and homes? What is the reception for works that defy the expectations of devotion to the environment in Native American literature one genre at a time? That address historic erasure by reshaping the future? This paper will examine some of Stephen Graham Jones’s prolific works, including Sterling City, “How Billy Hanson Destroyed the Earth, and Everyone on It,” as well as Chapter Six, all published in a variety of platforms and collections. In each instance, the worlds as home and future history described are decidedly reclaimed, perhaps for good reasons, and perhaps for not so good reasons. The worlds offered to choose from, however, are ones that will likely give you nightmares, or at least pause, even in the daylight.

Oilseeds and products of their processing, both for the individual and for the entire economy of the country, are of great importance. This is also due to the fact that in recent years there has been an increase in interest in the production of oilseeds due to the high demand for oilseeds and products of their processing on the world and Russian markets. Oil flax provides a high-quality technical oil used in the paint and varnish and leather and footwear industries for the production of paints, varnishes, putties, soaps, oilcloths, waterproof fabrics, linoleum and rubber substitutes. It is also used in metalworking, electrical engineering and other industries. Flax is an environmentally friendly culture. When cultivating it, a minimum amount of chemical protection and fertilizers is required. Flax crops free the earth from heavy metals and radionuclides. Flax seeds obtained from contaminated land do not even show any trace of radiation. In the last three years, a kind of oil flax boom has been observed in Russia. The high demand for products made from it makes it very profitable to grow, which explains the annual growth of the cultivated area.The article provides an economic substantiation of the project for organizing the cultivation of oil flax. With the help of technological maps, the costs of production are calculated.

In the wake of the Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato sì which talks about the Earth as a common home of all people, the author offers a draft of ecological spirituality. The beginning of true eco-spirituality is ecological conversion, which is nothing else but a renewed consciousness that from our faith and encounter with Jesus Christ we also ought to change our relationship with the world around us. Ecological conversion should help the faithful to repeatedly and correctly develop their awareness of having been created, of their own immersion into the world of creatures with which they are interconnected. Correct ecological attitude leads to internal balance of the man himself, to solidarity with others, to natural balance of all living beings and to spiritual balance with God. Ecological awareness can help not only to preserve the environment, which is one of the basic goals, but also to change the way of behaviour, which can raise the quality of life of both the individual and the family. Ecological spirituality understands and lives the sacraments in a new way, as a means of salvation and sanctification, because in the sacraments God uses the visible matter in order to communicate his (invisible) grace. Eco-spirituality calls for upbringing and adopting new attitudes in the lives of contemporary Christians which need to help them to properly treat the created world.

The article presents the study of the short film Apocrypha by Andrei Zvyagintsev. The text is aimed at the interpretation of the movie in the context of the problem of memory, which is emphasised in the selected work in the explicit and implicit visual associations with the figure and poetry of Iosif Brodsky. The recognition of these characteristic elements in the structure of Zvyagintsev’s film has the influence on the perception of its meaning, leading the culturally aware recipient towards discovering its broad interpretative potential in view of the Russian literary tradition. The study is conducted using the comparative method of analysis. The core theory which constitutes the methodological foundation of the study is Astrid Erll’s concept of cultural memory expounded as intertextuality, i.e. the continuous building up of layers of texts, which are mediated, as well as her idea of transcultural memory, defined in the first instance as a process of fluctuation between the individual and collective level of remembering. Attention is turned to the motifs, which are characteristic both for Brodsky’s and Zvyagintsev’s poetics, such as the aquatic symbolism, temporal and topographical relationships, chromatography of cold colours etc. The application of the selected methodology in the presented discussion allows for exposing the dynamics of the changing nature of culture, which becomes the container of the social and territorial fluctuations of memory.

Spirituality connotes praxis informed by religious or faith convictions. This can transform the individual and society at large. Christian spirituality is centered on how a person’s relationship with the God of Jesus Christ informs and directs one’s approach to existence and engagement with the world. The ecosystem concerns humanity and relationship with it is invariably influenced by faith or religious informed praxis. The reality of climate change is convincing many people that humankind’s common homeland needs to be treated with care and respect if created beings are to have a congenial habitat now and in the future. This article avers that Christian spirituality can contribute to eco-friendly behavior through re-formation of the behavior of people and emboldening their goodwill as regards the responsibility of all towards the care of the earth. Finally, this research proffers a three-fold model of eco-spirituality - scriptural, self-control, and sacramental approaches to the earth – as a contribution towards stemming the tide of ecological assaults on creation. Textual analysis is the method used in this research.

The paper presents the study of the mythologeme Mat’-Syra-Zemlya (Damp Mother Earth) as a part of the Russian language picture of the world. Mythologeme is a phenomenon of language consciousness going back to a certain archetype. The authors have revealed that the linguistic consciousness of the Russian language native speakers firmly holds the linguoculturological meanings of the mythologeme under study, with most striking, firmly rooted in the Russian language picture of the world, the differential signs associated with this mythologeme being: ‘person (female)’ (48.5 %), ‘mother’ (26.3 %), ‘goddess’ (17.3 %), ‘surface’ (5.4 %), ‘grave’ (2.5 %). The mythologeme Mat’-Syra-Zemlya combines two differential signs: ‘birth’ and ‘death’. The earth is the birth womb and grave into which a person leaves after death. There is evidence of syncretism of sememes due to the change of religion: the adoption of Christianity when a new ritual practice of funerals came to Russian culture. According to the analysis, the mythologeme Mat’-Syra-Zemlya implements a complex of signs in the Russian linguistic culture, with the prototype being a more ancient mythologeme - Velikaya Boginya Mat’ (the Great Mother Goddess). The study has revealed the following associative meanings related to the mythologeme Mat’-Syra-Zemlya in the Russian linguistic culture: 1. Earthly life in this world; 2. Agricultural activities of man (plowing); 3. Family - earthly and heavenly; 4. Ritual practice (oath, frankincense; handful / pinch of land transported to a new land); 5. Death and funeral; 6. Birth and return to earth.

When, at an unknown but manifestly early period, speculation regarding the duration and destiny of the world began, the thinkers of those days had two analogies to guide them, and consequently two divergent conclusions were reached. The first was the recurrent cycle of the seasons; the second, the growth, maturity, decay and death of the human and all other animal bodies. Reasoning from the one, some arrived at the conclusion that the world, at least the earth and mankind, had passed and would always continue to pass through a series of epochs, limited in number, which when they had ended would recommence, and so on indefinitely. From the other datum the result was reached that as a man dies and does not come to life again (for even the fairly wide-spread and early doctrine of reincarnation supposed only that the soul would be given a new earthly body of some kind, not that the whole individual would return), so the earth, or the universe generally, would grow old and die and that would be the end of it. It is the purpose of this paper to examine these two ideas and one or two offshoots of them as they are known to have appeared in the two classical civilizations of Europe, and especially in Greece, and if possible to draw some tentative conclusions as to which, if either, can be found more characteristic of native thought.

Every piece of fiction is a piece of poetic accessory. Poetic language is conditioned by the unification of incompatible notions, implicitness and covertness to make the language of fiction attractive. The means of language spicing may vary. The variety of means may depend on different factors such as gender, age, linguo-cultural identity, national characteristics, special preference of tropes and figures of speech, which may lead to the identification of the individual style of the author. Text is a unity of reality, concepts and meanings which are to be essentially decoded by the reader. Every writer explores the world differently, touches different problems from different angles and definitely has a special preference to a set of particular stylistic means to express himself/herself. The means making the author’s works mostly recognizable can be a set of simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, stylistic inversions, etc.

The analysis of the individual writing style is a dynamically developing direction of modern linguistics. An integral part of individual style is the metaphorical system of the author. Metaphors are one of the most accurate markers of individual style, since they give a perspective on personality and mental worldview of the writer. The study of metaphor allows describing the nature of the imagery world of the author or his conceptual sphere. The subject of this research the evolution of the conceptual sphere of Robert Bridges, a prominent representative of English poetry of the late XIX – early XX centuries. The goal consists in elucidation of peculiarities of the author's conceptual sphere. The research methodology leans on the method of studying metaphor developed by N. V. Pavlovich. The article explores the questions of individual writing style, placing emphasis on the dynamics of imagery system of R. Bridges. The scientific novelty consists in revealing the mental worldview in each period of the author’s work, outlining the author's conceptual sphere, and describing the nature of transformations in the author's imagery system throughout his literary path. The acquires results demonstrate the characteristics of conceptual sphere of the author's early and mature lyrics, as well as determine stable and dynamic parameters of his mental worldview. It is established that the structure of conceptual sphere seeks to preserve the fundamentals of the author's view of the world, as well embraces the changes taking place in the poet's worldview.
