Popoilyk Y. The Structural and Metaphoric Semantic Denomination of HOLY in Sacral and Literary Discourse.

The thesis research is devoted to the structural-semantic and metaphoric-semantic analysis of designation of HOLY in sacral and literary discourse. In this work, we have determined the primary and secondary elements of megaconcept HOLY; distinguished the dominant lexical-semantic groups of its main equivalents - God, Jesus Christ, Blessed Virgin; discovered interchangeable naming units, their quantitative composition, metaphoric-semantic typology, phraseological and metaphoric linguistic units; presented classification of nominative constructions by the core naming unit; tracked dynamics of definitions formation of HOLY in the lexicographic works pertaining to different historic periods. The card catalogue counts more than 4 000 nominations for denotation of God, Jesus Christ, Blessed Virgin in sacral texts. Based on results of the count, the most numerous in sacral texts are nominations for denotation of Blessed Virgin - 2597 (83 one component, 411 - two component, 675 - three component, 1428 - multicomponent lexemes), Jesus Christ - 1 115 (61 one component, 248 - two component, 258 - three component, 548 - multicomponent lexemes), God - 482 (33 one component, 114 - two component, 85 - three component, 250 - multicomponent lexemes).Research of semantics of linguistic depicters of HOLY through the prism of sacral and literary discourse opens the associative-metaphoric and evaluative-mental peculiarities of language picture of the Ukrainians' world and individual author thinking of writers in the context of the concrete historic period. In the literary corpus, it is presented as depicter of idiolect and individual world view of the writers.
