Історична стилістика – інструмент дослідження культурної пам’яті слова
Historical stylistics as a tool for the cultural memory study of words

Summary/Abstract: The article emphasizes the fact that in Ukrainian linguistics, the status of historical stylistics is not yet fully defined. The basic reason for it is that this field of study combines two perspectives – the historical one (the connection with the history of the literary language) and the functional with the axiological (the subject of linguistic style). The very idea of the study of the formation and diachronic dynamics, the development of emotionally expressive, cognitive properties of those groups of vocabulary, phraseology, grammatical units, and specific genre-style varieties of texts is not new. It is noted that the transition from the history of Ukrainian literary language to historical stylistics in terms of knowledge of the circumstances of the history and socio-cultural life of Ukrainians through texts greatly extends the idea of their dynamics. In the article, the differentiation of several directions of historical stylistics is proposed: axiological (the theory of synonymic series), conceptual-sign (the theory of a linguistic sign, the philosophy of the linguistic sign of the modern text), genrestyle, individual authors’ stylistics (linguopersonology), sociolinguistic with stylistics, and codification lexicographic. As a result, it is emphasised that the construction of a holistic conception of the history of the Ukrainian literary language is impossible without the experience of historical stylistics as a direction of general linguistics, which, in the process of its methodological development, provides broad material for modelling the dynamics of the national linguistic culture.
