Moshtah Y. The Stylistic-Discursive Characteristics of Modern Women's Prose about Travels.

The object of the research is the language of the modern Ukrainian women's travelogue; the purpose is to identify and describe the leading linguistic means that form the stylistic and discursive peculiarity of the modern Ukrainian women's travelogue; the methods used in the research are as follows: stylistic analysis (for the identification of stylistic functions of the means), semantic analysis (for the description of the semantics of the linguistic units), discursive analysis (for establishing links of the text with other texts and non-textual, non-verbal phenomena); the novelty of the research: for the first time in Ukrainian linguistics modern Ukrainian women's travelogues have been considered as a single set of texts. The basic stylistic and discursive features have been singled out, the relationship between the genre and individual style features reflecting the author's perception of reality have been shown. The classification of travels and travelogue texts generated by them has been supplemented; the main concepts forming the cognitive space of the discourse of traveling prose have been highlighted. For the first time, the role of intertextuality and intermedialism in the contemporary Ukrainian women's travelogues has been revealed as the texts of this genre have been introduced into the national and globalized linguistic and cultural context; the results of the research can be used in writing monographs and teaching aids, as well as in the courses on practical stylistics of the Ukrainian language, discourse, special courses on expressiveness, axiological linguistics, linguistic aspects of intertextuality; field - linguistics.
