The present article deals with the groups, semantic fields and variant-synonymous groups of the phraseologisms in the works of Borys Grinchenko. Structural-semantic models of phraseologisms in the prose heritage of the writer are created. The article also presents tables of phraseologisms’ideographic classification. On their basis, statistical calculations were made within the framework of the phrase-thematic groups. Borys Grinchenko's prose is a broad field for the study of the ideology of phraseology, but these units in the writer's work are not explored, in what is the novelty of the article. The purpose of the exploration is to study thematic groups of phraseologisms in the works of Borys Grinchenko. In this paper, we used methods of linguistic analysis of the text, modeling, schematic, and statistical. In this work, we relied primarily on the ideographic classification of phraseologisms, undertaken by Victor and Dmytro Uzhсhenko. Scientists offer the allocation of language universals (structural semantic models — SSM), through which they build phrases. Today, this classification is applied only to the study of the vocabulary of Borys Grinchenko's works. The most stable phrases are found in the phrase-thematic group “Person” (95%), namely in the PTF “Person as a rational creature”. In this thematic field is particularly rich in phraseologisms of the PSF “Emotions, feelings, states”. This is primarily due to the fact that Borys Grinchenko had some psychological abilities, skillfully revealing the characters and feelings of his characters. In the PTG “Abstract relations” (3%) the most numerous was the PSF “Quality”, the smallest quantity — “Number”. It can be explained by the poorer extreme potential of the last field. There is no PSF “Opportunity” in this phraseological group, as opposed to the classification of Victor Uzhchenko. PTG “Nature” (2%) is also small, but it managed to allocate three SSMs. In addition, the classification of Victor Uzhchenko was supplemented by the necessary VSG in the article. The analysis of Boris Grinchenko's artistic prose in the ideographic aspect of phraseology proves its richness and diversity in almost all thematic groups.

The Subject of the Study are the genre peculiarities of the Christmas story “Brother Stuttererʼs Christmas” from collection “13 Christmas stories”. It is stated that a huge amount of the works of this genre have been published, having children and adults as their target audience. Thus, it may be regarded as the resumption of a tradition of writing Christmas stories in Ukrainian literary process. But the problem is that studying those stories remains mainly unsustained — as a rule these works are analyzed in book and other kind of reviews close to Christmas and New Year holidays. The Aim of the Study is analysis of the Christmas story “Brother Stuttererʼs Christmas”, its stylistic peculiarities, specialty of genre transformation. Research methodology is presented by close reading as well as the philological method of studying of a work of fiction, so the author investigates the stylistic dominants and literary peculiarities of this Christmas novel, defining its specific characteristics as well as the symbolic figures. The Results and Originality of the Study are: the notion of «philosophic and existential Christmas story», its key features and constituent parts. These features provide for the composition based on the combination of the two different points of view. The same event is presented through perspectives of the two different characters, with their views being brought together by symbolic figures — both from outside (from the other person's perspective) and inside (in their own eyes). Every character as if repeats his own version of events, while symbolic figures, closely connected with Christmas theme, create a symbolic tunnel of notions and ideas, which unfold before the reader. Moreover, the author refines the genre specific nature of a Christmas story, the functioning of Christmas imagery in modern Ukrainian literature. The practical significance is connected with understanding the new stage of genre’s evolution and its publishing prospects.

The general feeling of malaise, if not crisis, in Literary Studies forces us to urgently look for solutions that will bring the discipline forward. This article is a call for a concentration on fundamental issues in the study of literature, and at the same time for a more rigorous and accountable methodology in studying both the content and the form of literary texts as well as readers’ reactions to them.Some illustrations of work in the area of Empirical Study of Literature are provided, showing how fiction is a powerful regulator of human emotion, especially by formal features of the text. Case 1 reports a study which looks at the influence of narrative perspective (internal focalization in the first place) on judgements of readers. Case 2 delves into the textual ingredients by which readers’ absorption in a narrative world is enhanced. These ingredients are foremost of a kind that goes under the name of “foregrounding” devices in literary studies. The conclusion from the research is that texts that are rich in foregrounding are better able to elicit a more complex response, i.e., a more powerful impact, from readers. In its turn Case 3 looks at how readers react to literary pieces dealing with deep human suffering. The findings indicate that literature is able to evoke strong feelings of empathy through its formal make-up. The results also support the argument that one’s exposure to literature is the main variable to have an impact on prosocial behaviour, irrespective of personality, gender, age or social situation.Thus we claim that literary texts exert a powerful influence on readers’ value sharing, absorption and empathy, and the impact can only be studied empirically. The article shows a way out of the current crisis, not by just opening up a new fashion, in which literary texts are “interpreted” in yet another way, mostly academically, but by taking literary texts seriously in their workings on the minds and hearts of readers — which is ultimately what texts are written for.
