Abstract
The purpose of this article is to shed light on the peculiarities of
using personal pronouns as expressions of cultural information in the
communicative act and as special markers of individualization and self-
identification.
The methodological basis of the study is the activity approach, in which
culture is interpreted as a holistic system of different forms of human activity,
i.e. culture connects society with the individual; it is a way of its entry into
social life, a way of existence of a social group in interaction with nature, other
social groups, which covers in particular, ethno-cultural stereotypes. The study
of language, reflecting universal and ethno-specific ways of categorizing and
conceptualizing the world, the history and modern existence of its speakers, is
one of the most effective ways of studying cultural phenomena. The basis of the
research strategy was the cultural-semiotic method, the method of semantic-
differential scales and the systematic approach. Therefore, studying the
phenomena of culture and the phenomena of language in the linguistic-cultural
paradigm will help to deepen the understanding of the mental code of
Ukrainians. The semantics and pragmatics of personal pronouns in a
communicative act at the linguistic-mental level is a fragment of the Ukrainian
linguistic picture of the world.
The use of personal pronouns as special markers of individualization and
self-identification is conditioned by the mental identity of Ukrainians and is one
of the many elements of the identity code of ethnos information that depends on
the specifics of the national world perception.
