STRUCTURAL AND STYLISTIC FEATURES OF AUTHOR’S LEXICAL INNOVATIONS OF YURII IZDRYK (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF “THE DEAD DIARY”)

Abstract

The article deals with the structural and stylistic features of author’s lexical innovations of Yurii Izdryk. This paper demonstrates the most productive methods of word-formation of nonce words: prefix-suffix, suffix, juxtaposition (word composition), quasinomination, the use of graphosemantisms, the truncation of vowels, and the replacement of slang. The study is an attempt to evaluate the stylistic motivation of the neolexical means found in the poetry. The article clarifies that the use of individual author’s innovations is not defining but one of the peculiar features of Yurii Izdryk’s individual style.
