Abstract
Abstract.The peculiarities of the use of linguistic units for the designation of color as constituents of individual-author's images of the realities of the surrounding world are analyzed in the article. The purpose of the article is to carry out a linguistic analysis of color notations in the structure of poetic images of nature and to find out the role of such units as visualizers of the natural world in Oleksii Dovhyi's poetry.
During the research the author made a number of theoretical generalizations concerning the problems of artistic text as a phenomenon of individual creativity. The special nature of poetic text has been proved as a text capable of performing two functions – informative and communicative-suggestive. The researcher covered the question of the functioning of poetic means and techniques in the text as a guarantee of adequate emotional and expressive perception by its reader. The study emphasized the particular role of visualization in the communication process between author and reader. The exceptional function of the tokens of color in the process of visualization of the poet's impressions and experiences of the lyrical hero and the transmission of such emotions to the reader was noted.
Research has shown that in Oleksii Dovhyi's poetic language, visualizers of copyrighted images of nature often appear to be tokens for the designation of blue, yellow, white, gray and black. It has been found that blue color markings are often used by the poet to explicate the celestial space tier and to create a sense of perspective in the text. Nominations of yellow, often correlated with the names of gold, are involved in the poetic expression of the sacred images of the sun and light as elements of the divine principle. Combining in the artistic and poetic context of tokens of yellow and blue, the poet creates in the text a sense of connection of the lyrical hero with the main world images – water and sun. White in the color paradigm of the natural world is a symbol of lightness, purity and light. Opposition is his nominations for the realities associated with black as a symbol of death and negative phenomena. The tokens of gray are used by the poet to depict the melancholy mood of his lyrical hero.
