Abstract. The article analyses Latinisms which constitute a significant part of Lesia Ukrainka’s works and enrich her vocabulary. Author substantiates that Latin remains the key source of lexical borrowings which belong to the terms of the general European culture for both Ukrainian and most European languages. Words of Latin origin represented in semantic blocks, corresponding to a particular space in conceptual and linguistic world pictures were collected and grouped from Lesia Ukrainka’s works. Author determined the peculiarities of Latin words in the language of Lesia Ukrainka’s works and analyzed the most frequently used terms formed by means of Latin word-building elements and investigated their semantics and formal structure.
Latinisms are a large part of Lesia Ukrainka’s vocabulary and enrich her word arsenal.
Lesia Ukrainka by means of her genius sense collected such foreign words which were only of urgent need. Using Latinisms is caused by the sense of proportion, deep understanding of necessity to use particular Latin words, terms and eloquent expressions which were distinctive features of Lesia Ukrainka’s writing style.
Determinologization of Latinisms demonstrated by epistolary texts shows the peculiarities of their usage in Ukrainian literature of those times. Semantically these Latinisms are used for nomination of terms from social-political, educational-scientific, financial-economic, literary and law spheres of life, belonging to the bookish lexicon.
