The analysis of the use of such elements inOld Ukrainian literary language of the 14-18th centuries., in Ukrainian literary languageof the 19-20th centuries and in modern Ukrainian dialects has proved “Ukrainianness” ofsome archaic elements of the Ukrainian language, which are perceived by the languageawareness of the modern Ukrainian as elements of the Russian language rather than theelements of its national identity in the diachronic dimension, as these words do exist inthe modern Russian literary language, while in the New Ukrainian literary language theyare replaced by other lexemes. It is shown that such archaisms in the language awarenessof educated Ukrainians, including writers, acquire additional connotations and update theirhistorical memory.
