Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of fragments of speech texts that ethnically identify the author. Among such elements that predetermine the semantic functioning of the text, along with extralinguistic ones, the actual informational units are determined. These were called «ethno-marker». It is hypothetically noted that any text of the spontaneous type reveals the features that can characterize the inner world of the author, including the ethnic one, and represent his speech portrait. In order to identify such features, the Russian-speaking epistolary T. Shevchenko has been analyzed and fragments of oral speech of contemporary Ukrainians. It has been determined that the Ukrainian language system has not undergone fundamental changes during the 2nd half of the XIX – beginning XXI centuries, marked only Russian-speaking tracing units. As elements of the Ukrainian ethnic marking of the Russian-language text of T. Shevchenko (letters to G. Tarnovsky, P. Hesse, V. Repnina and P. Symyrenko), single Ukrainian words, Ukrainian-language tracing units and transitions into another language code within one sentence or paragraph. It is noted that such sharp spontaneous transitions are caused by the painful condition of the author. At the same time, the epistolary style of the author remains elegant – with the observance of the corresponding speech etiquette. Also, verbal features of Shevchenko's emotionality are identified, which also represent his speech portrait. In the comparative comparisons, fragments of oral speech of contemporary Ukrainians of different generations are analyzed, in which dialectal and literary units and Russian-language lexical tracing units are defined. It is concluded that precisely the tracing units represents the spontaneous speech of Ukrainians of different generations – with their entry into the national language. Generally, the speech of these individuals does not reveal any fundamental differences in the language structures, that is Ukrainian speech remains the same autochthonous and original.
