Heading: Articles

Abstract: The article proposes an integrative approach to the study of literary and media texts that represent the linguistic portrait of a migrant. The focus of sociocultural reflectivity is chosen as a guideline for determining the main concepts of identification in the language of modern Ukrainian prose about migrants – “I and WE in Ukraine”, “I and THEM in the world”. Among the aspects of sociocultural reflectivity, attention is focused on how the Ukrainian literary language captures the processes of identification and self-identification of a person in the world, what models of verbalization of the status of a migrant and assessment of migrationism are established in the living linguistic consciousness of Ukrainians.

The article combines two methods of analysis: traditional structural-semantic, linguostylistic analysis (reading linguistic and linguo-cultural information from the texts of dictionary entries; identifying nominees of the lexical-thematic group “migrant”, tracing their compatibility, which is specified in text semantics) and a specific narrowly applied functional-parametric group-reflexive analysis of discourse, in which in the identification of a participant in group creativity (parameter position) different positions of identification are distinguished: individualistic; group; coalitional. The static text model of the analysis of the lexical-thematic group (linguistic-aesthetic image with elements of socio-cultural reflectivity) is combined with a dynamic cognitive-discursive model, which reflects individual reactions that are subject to generalization as a certain social experience, knowledge about the state and status of a migrant in a certain time-space period.

Keywords: linguosophy, prose language, media text, group reflection, sociocultural reflectivity, identification, names of persons, pronoun-identifier, adverb-identifier.
