Stylistic possibilities of euphony in artistic discourse by the “replaced generation” poets

Abstract

The article deals with the special stylistic language means — euphony that intensifies the acoustic and expressive-emotional background of poetical works. The purpose of the research is to distinguish the main types of euphony in poetical discourse by the writers who formed an exceptional Ukrainian culture phenomenon — the “replaced generation”, and to determine the functions of phonetic and stylistic resources in poetical communication. The main research methods are: observation of linguistic phenomena, the continuous sampling method, description, linguistic-stylistic analysis, the contextual method and functional-stylistic method. As research material the author used the poetical works by the poets of the “replaced generation”: Hryhorii Chubai, Vasyl Holoborodko, Viktor Kordun, Mykola Vorobiov, Taras Melnychuk, Stanislav Vyshenskyi, Oleh Lysheha, Mykhailo Hryhoriv, and others. The most productive types of phonetic-stylistic resources used by these poets are alliterations (with sonorant consonants, blade spirant consonants, sibilant consonants) and frequent paronomasias.
