Malenko O. Lingual and Esthetic Presentation of Existence Values in the Dynamics of Ukrainian Poetry.

The thesis offers a new approach to the comprehension and study of Ukrainian artistic writing specific features within its development from folklore poetic practice to postmodern heritage, in particular through the existence values coded in poetic texts, and reflected through the corresponding program of artistic discourse.Such existence values as vitality, arrangement, beauty (folk songs); Ukraine, native language, Cossacks' activity, freedom (Romanticism poetry); truth (Realism poetry) were observed, the means of their lingual-stylistic representation were described. Verbalised existence spheres were artistically comprehended in the esthetics of Modernism. So, the word itself was identified as esthetic and existence value, a self-sufficient thing-in-itself (poetry of Symbolism, Futurism, Neoclassicism). Transformation of the prior artistic existence values in Postmodernism led to the discursive representation of irony, absurd, antiesthetics, that was reflected in the lingual organisation of the context. It was determined that according to the intentional ability of certain existence values coding, linguistic world mapping of a poetic text is formed, the stylistic resource of the national language is used.
