Abstract: The article analyzes the scientific heritage and idiostyle of the famous Ukrainian linguist, lexicologist and phraseologist L.A. Yurchuk, whose 100-year anniversary was celebrated in 2023. The work of the researcher contributed to raising the level of derivatology, morphology, lexicology, lexicography and phraseology of the Ukrainian language. The works of L.A. Yurchuk on phraseology and phraseography defined the theoretical foundations and formed the benchmark for the practice of phraseography in modern Ukrainian linguistics. The views of the scientist significantly influenced the parameters of the norm of the new Ukrainian literary language at the end of the 20th century, since the linguist, in co-authorship with other lexicographers, compiled translation and explanatory academic dictionaries that are significant for Ukrainian linguistics.

The legacy of L.A. Yurchuk consists of scientific articles devoted to various aspects of the study of word formation, vocabulary and phraseology of the Ukrainian language as well as instructions for compiling dictionaries, prefaces to lexicographic (phraseographic) works, a one-person monograph «Issues of suffix word formation of verbs in the modern Ukrainian language» (1959). The researcher, working as part of the team of the department of lexicology and lexicography of the О.О. Potebnia Institute of Linguistics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (since 1991 this division has been part of the newly created Institute of the Ukrainian Language of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine), co-authored the “Ukrainian-Russian Dictionary” in six volumes (1953–1963), the “Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language” in eleven volumes (1970–1980), “Phraseological dictionary of the Ukrainian language” in two books (1993) etc. These editions had a significant impact on the codification of the new Ukrainian literary language and to a large extent created its modern image. In the mentioned works L.A. Yurchuk realized her views on the lexicographic and phraseographic description of the Ukrainian language. The work of the linguist became one of the most notable achievements of Ukrainian academic linguistics of the second half of the 20th century.

Keywords: derivatology, morphology, lexicology, lexicography, phraseology, phraseography, new Ukrainian literary language, normalization, codification, L.A. Yurchuk.
