About book

This is an automatically translated description

The book examines the consequences of the influence of Soviet totalitarian ideology on the Ukrainian language and Ukrainian lexicographic practice. Ideological factors led to the formation of a special politicised language, which became the embodiment of ideological dogmas, a means of ideological influence and the formation of a worldview that corresponded to the interests of the ruling elite of a totalitarian society. On the Ukrainian territory, the new language had both features common to the entire Soviet totalitarian discourse and specific ones, caused by interference with the internal development of the Ukrainian language in order to bring it closer to Russian and further assimilate it. Particular attention is paid to lexicographic methods of ideologising the vocabulary of various thematic groups, as well as to the main trends in the modern lexical processing of lexical units related to changes in the political system of the country, in the worldview and system of values of the Ukrainian people.

The publication is intended for philologists, historians, sociologists, political scientists and anyone interested in totalitarian discourse.
