РОЛЬ РИБАЛЬСЬКОЇ ЛЕКСИКИ В ХУДОЖНЬОМУ ТЕКСТІ

A literary text as a
scientific one is a valuable information source about fishing vocabulary. Based on the literary texts,
which reflect the fishing culture of the different areas, it can be concluded that the Carpathian
dialectism rybar, which was shown in the novel «Krynychar» by Myroslav Dochynets, functions
as a hyperonym for the names of the fishermen of the definite fish breeds. In the novel «The Man in
the Steppe» by Oles Honchar about the fisherman of the Low Sub Dnieper region we can find the
name shchukar ‘the pikes catcher’, which belongs to the steppe sub-dialect. The fragment of the
novel «On the Horse and under the Horse» by Anatoly Dimarov allows to delve into the semantic
structure of the word yunar and make the conclusion that the integral seme will be ‘the catcher
of the nimble fish’. The Ukrainian names of the fishermen can be traced at least from the Proto-
Slavonic era and the fishermen’s names, which were mentioned in the literary texts, belong to
the Common-Slavic semantic subtype of naming animal caretaker and consumer. In the story
by Ivan Franko «How Yura Shykmaniuk went across the Cheremosh»: lapaty is said to be the
oldest method of fishing in Hutsulshchyna. The affiliation of this name to the Slavonic vocabulary
layer is confirmed by the lexical-semantic parallels in the languages of the territorially remote
Slavic peoples. An important type of fishing vocabulary reflected in literary texts is verbal names
derived from nouns designating fishing gear: hachyty ← hak, kukanyty ← kukan, klochyty ←
klok etc. Consequently, literary texts are important as a source of research on fishing vocabulary.
Artistic comprehension by the writer of fishing life allows us to delve into the semantic structure of
professionalism, to highlight the most important motivational models of the development of these
names, to see the historical continuity of fishing vocabulary, reaching the historical roots.
