Abstract

The article considers the concept «Ukraine» as a semiotic sign encompassing specific codes. It is proved that the epistolary is a distinctive sign process (semiosis) wherein a sign is recorded and identified by the addresser in writing and decoded by the addressee by virtue of the common notional field where they belong. The suggested scientific proving decodes letters of representatives of the elite of those days, namely I. Franko, Dmytro Zahorulko, Roman Zaklynskyi, Mykola Zimbalevskyi, Ipolyt Zborovskyi, Hryhorii Zaiets, and others.
