The writer forms Polonisms as barbarisms, using Latin graphics, actualizes Ukrainianized Polonisms in the Cyrillic graphics of the Ukrainian alphabet; she uses calques and half-calques. She distributes all types of borrowings: phraseological, semantic, lexical, semantic, phonetic, morpheme. There are representatives of all parts of speech among the borrowings: most of them are abstract and specific nouns, adjectives of different lexical and grammatical categories, verbs and adverbs, pronoun forms are rarely used, functional words are infrequently used. Polonisms perform a number of functions, among which (1) nominative – naming Polish realities, (2) expressing coherence through Polish discursive words and expressions, (3) using etiquette formulas to actualize phatic communication, (4) modeling epithets, paraphrases, enantheosemia and other artistic means for the purpose of ornamentalization of the text, (5) use of specific Polish and calqued phraseologies, precedent units, etc. for verbalization of emotions and expression, (6) representation of individual word formation for the purpose of attraction of the text. The writer reflected the natural process of functioning of Polonisms in the Ukrainian language.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Egocentricism of Borrowings in Lesya Ukrainka’s Letters: Verbalization of Polish Linguoculture}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/121715/PDF-MASTER/2021-04-SOR-11-Kosmeda-Kowalewska.pdf}, doi={10.24425/slo.2021.138872}, keywords={epistolary discourse, Lesya Ukrainka’s letters, Polonisms, types and functions of borrowings}, }
