| Summary: | Increasingly, computer technologies in linguistics offer their advanced tools to process, store and
select language data, which has triggered the fast development of the actual branch of linguistic studies –
corpus linguistics. Through the use of large-scale empirical data and advanced computer technologies to
reach objective insights into language function, linguistic corpora have quickly become invaluable resources.
Data obtained through corpus analysis facilitate the drawing of qualitatively new conclusions about language
and highlight research directions that previously received little attention. Despite substantial linguistic work
on Dmytro Dontsov’s writings, there still exist a number of questions not studied so far. Among these are
compiling a linguistic language corpus as well as a concordance of this prominent thinker, public figure, publicist
utilizing modern methods to calculate and fix lexemes in order to identify their attributive collocation. Any
available means of programming, facilitating processing language material of a big mass, have been realized
to be an undoubtedly productive way to properly perform conceptual analysis and to serve as an additional
tool for studying. The purpose of the study is to determine the peculiarities of the unique features of Dmytro
Dontsov’s maxims in the aspect of corpus linguistics and lexicography on the basis of the corpus space that
forms the linguistic vision of the world and is a source of creating lexicographical pieces of work (concordances,
a writing language, a writer language, etc.). We emphasize that the creation of Dmytro Dontsov’s writing
concordance has become the subject of corpus linguistics study for the first time. The subject of our study is
the writings of Dmytro Dontsov, their lexicographical parametrization which provides all possible words with
their description (phonetic, word-creating, grammatical), along with quantitative indices, i.e. it is the result of
learning many linguistic disciplines, unified by the dictionary. The methodology of study is the combination
of general theoretical methods (analysis, generalization, explanation) with the applied methods of linguistics.
Analysis of the studied conception is grounded in “The Spirit of Our Antiquity” text corpus compiled by using
the Sketch Engine program. On the basis of the analysis, it is found out that an electronic corpus provides
the opportunity to accelerate language study and increase its effectiveness, probability and checkability
significantly. The article reveals heuristic potential, practical effectiveness of the corpus and application of
concordant technologies in conceptual studies. It was discovered that, the construction of the full concordance
of the writings of Dmytro Dontsov will enable showing the picture of the world on the basis of learning the
author’s lexical wealth and reproducing his understanding of the political situation. The created concordance
is a stage of forming lexicographical works about Dontsov, which provides understanding of stages, methods,
principles and peculiarities of compiling Dmytro Dontsov’s writing language dictionary. The multifaceted
study of D. Dontsov’s writings is believed to be of importance. The concordance serves as a new material,
important for politicians, journalists, teachers, students, for it is an entrance in a system of new words, filling
with new ideas, and possibility to perceive the world through the nation-state aspirations of a great thinker.
Realization of his project will help to create a political-intellectual product of great importance to offer bright
prospects for future linguistic study, whose tasks are supposed to use linguistic material. |
