Bratanich O. Lingvostylistycs of the H.P.Cotchur's epistolary (based on the correspondence in 60-80's of XX century)

Due to the dramatic conditions in which the Ukranian naton was being shaped under various regtimes epistolary has always meant for Ukranians something more than just an instrument of commmunication. In the course of modern Ukranian history epistolary perfomed the role of an avenger providing a real compensation of the tragically ruined original literature as well as an inexhaustible source of imagery, lexical, stylistic and versificational wealth for the posterity. Topicality of research is caused by the fact that comprehecive linguistic analysis of composition, semantics and functioning of Ukranian epistols in the linguistic prosesses of the XX century has not been made in the paper. The thesises determines basic signs of epistolar style of the Ukranian language; researches spesifics of the H.Cotchur's epistola's structure; determines individual and author's peculiarities of the use of the lexic and phraseology.
