Abstract
<jats:p>The present collective monograph was prepared to commemorate the 85th anniversary of the birth of Professor Nina Fedorivna Klymenko, who holds the positions of Doctor of Philology and Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Researchers from a variety of scientific and educational institutions in Ukraine participated in the preparation of this monograph, including those from Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Drohobych, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kryvyi Rih, Kropyvnytskyi, Lviv, Lutsk, Kharkiv, and Cherkasy, as well as those based in Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia. A powerful block of texts in the volume is presented by the Commission on Slavic Word-Formation at the International Committee of Slavists, headed by its chairman, Professor Raina Dragicevic from the University of Belgrade (Serbia). From 2004 to 2018, Nina Fedorivna Klymenko was actively involved in the Commission, serving as a representative of Ukraine and Ukrainian linguistics. The geographical scope of the studies encompassed within this volume is extensive, as is the range of their respective problems. The spectrum of Nina Fedorivna Klymenko’s scientific research and interests is reflected first and foremost in this collection. The relevance of her works, ideas and achievements in the fields of Ukrainian and Slavic studies, Hellenistics, general and comparative linguistics, structural, mathematical and applied linguistics, terminological studies, and theory and practice of translation is significant and enduring. The monograph is divided into four sections, unified by a common problem. The sections are as follows: “Form and semantics of linguistic units in dictionaries and texts: modernity and history”; “Linguistic picture of the world: problems of analysis and lexicographic modelling”; “Terminological studies in the 21st century: new problems and methods of research”; and “Meeting of languages – meeting of cultures: problems of translation in the 21st century. Ukrainian language in the studies of foreign researchers”. The texts are presented in their original languages. The languages include Ukrainian, Polish, Serbian, Slovak and Slovenian. The publication of this book during the present tragic circumstances of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine attests not only to respect for the memory of Nina Fedorivna Klymenko but also demonstrates the efficacy and life-affirming potency of her scientific legacy. Furthermore, it serves as a poignant expression of collaboration and mutual support among Ukrainian scientists, while also exemplifying solidarity with us by the international scientific community.</jats:p>
