КОМБІНАТОРИКА В УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ МОВІ XVI–XVIII ст.: АД'ЄКТИВНО-СУБСТАНТИВНІ СЛОВОСПОЛУЧЕННЯ І ШКАЛА КОМПОЗИЦІЙНОЇ СЕМАНТИКИ

The proposed article considers the issue of compatibility on the
material of Ukrainian written sources of the 16th-18th centuries, actual for modern linguistics.
It is indicated on the nature of word-combinations following traditional grammar and functionalcommunicative
grammar. This is one of the important problems of combinatorial linguistics –
combinatorial lexicology and combinatorial lexicography. It is necessary to solve the following
tasks: some moments from the history of studying adjective-substantive phrases in synchrony and
diachrony, the problem of adjective-substantive collocations of a transitional type, the construction
of a scale of compositional semantics, and the location of adjectival-substantive phrases of the
Ukrainian language of the 16th-18th centuries, relative to the scale.
The study showed that in the group of word combinations under study (approximately 30,000
units), the adjective-substantive phrases of the transitional type constitute the overwhelming
majority and are subdivided into two subgroups: decompositional and compositional adjectivalsubstantive
phrases. Particular attention is paid to decompositional adjective-substantive phrases
that are associated with the concept of negation, moreover, the compositional semantics of which
require the decomposition of semantic structures. Phrases of this type are divided into wordcombinations-
imitations, word-combinations-falsifications, word-combinations-oxymorons and
others. Theoretical developments are confirmed by illustrations from Ukrainian texts of the 16th-
18th centuries.
