Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the way in which folkness as a strategy of text building competes with modernism. The first and the only prose text of the outstanding Ukrainian poetess Lina Kostenko is analysed in terms of these competing strategies. The linguistic encoding of the main text building strategies is analyzed, and issues such as the following are discussed: linguistic purism, linguistic expression of the specific conceptual sphere of folkness, specific features of slang as it functions in the text.
