КОНЦЕПТ «БОГ» У ПОЕТИЧНІЙ МОВОТВОРЧОСТІ КІНЦЯ ХХ СТОЛІТТЯ

This article deals with cognitive interpretation of the concept “God” in the Ukrainian poetry of the 1980s and 1990s. The purpose of the work is to summarize previous studies of the specificity of the poetic context and the semantic-functional features of the religious vocabulary in it through cognitive interpretation of the artistic concept of “God” in the texts of the specified period. Observing the key concepts of poetic speech-making, their verbalization, finding the correlation of usability and linguistic creativity in the development of poetic images contributes to the broadening of the idea of the structural-semantic volume of the national language and highlights the prospects for its development. Poetry from 60 compilations of young authors-winners of the Smoloskyp, Granoslov and other competitions served as a source of our research. The work is based on the understanding of the concept as an intellectual item enriched with value traits of culturally marked verbalized meaning. We demonstrate the significant place of the concept of “God” in the artistic world of the post-modernist writers of the late twentieth century; we observe the tradition in nominations explaining the concept (most common among them are “God” and “Lord”); and more over we point out nuclear and peripheral nominations in the analyzed material. It is also established that the structure of the artistic concept of “God” in the analyzed poetic texts, on the one hand, reflects the traditional ideas (“purity”, “innocence”, “love”, “forgiveness”, “ideal”, “supreme being”, “lord”, “shepherd”, “savior”, “idol”, “faith”), and on the other - specific, unique author’s ways of understanding the surrounding reality, a common feature of which is the presence of the negative perception and components that are traditionally inherent in the concept of “human” in the semantic layer of the art concept (“observer”, “boss”, “functionary”, “lonesome”, “helplessness”, “hunter”).
