Feminitives in the Ukrainian Argot: Attempt of Complex Analysis

Journal Title: Argotica - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

This article describes an attempt of a complex analysis of feminitives in the Ukrainian argot. In particular, we have considered feminitives from the point of view of their origin, formation and every day usage, as well as defined principles and methods of female derivation, its changes and consequences. Taking into account variety of ways and means of nominative processes, the special attention is drawn to a connotation part of the phenomenon mentioned above, as well as to a role of subjective emotional-expressive components in the structure of a lexical meaning of argot. Besides, we have spelt out a number of lingual and sub-lingual phenomena accompanying female word-formation on different lingual levels and emphasized on pragmatic specifics of feminitives in sub-standard systems. Moreover, we have analysed gender relations in sociolect environment, their display and implementation in the nominative structure of the Ukrainian sociolects. Basing on all received results, we have concluded about a systematic character of nominative of feminitives in the Ukrainian argot and correspondingly structural and notional continuity of common nominative processes within the Ukrainian language at all stages of its historical development. Such conclusions make possible the further studying of analysed nomens as an object of comparison with the other Slavic (Russian, Czech, Polish) and non-Slavic argot, as well as promote the interest to the dynamic studying of argot, jargon and slang.
