    From Mediation to Mentoring: Semantic Evolution of the Lexeme Librarian. Based on Materials from the General Regional Annotated Corpus (GRAC)
    (Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2025) Zhovnir, Maryna M.; Bondar, Nataliia V.; Bolotnikova, Alla P.
    ENG: Objective. The purpose of the article is to comprehensively analyze the semantic transformations of the lexeme librarian, the features of its interpretation in both the lexical register and discourse. The study of theoretical material and source base made it possible to build and compare lexical-semantic fields of lexemes librarian / teacher, to show their semantic intersections - a linguistic reflection of the idea of a librarian transformed in the minds of speakers and interpreted under the influence of essential objective / subjective intra- and extralingual factors. Methods. To achieve the defined goal, general scientific and linguistic research methods were applied. First of all, to study and explain the structure, content, and logic of dictionary definitions of the considered concept, the method of semantic analysis of definitions was used. The corpus approach made it possible to trace the frequency and dynamics of the use of lexemes librarian and teacher in discursive content. Semantic-distributive analysis made it possible to analyze the specificity and variation of the contextual compatibility of the considered lexeme, to construct a lexical-semantic field. Results. The results illustrate the emergence of new semiotics, layered and usual, and therefore semantic modifications caused by extralinguistic factors. Conclusions. The results of the study convince that the understanding of the concept of a librarian is shifting from mediation in the “information – reader” paradigm to mentoring, supervision, tutoring, teaching, and active involvement in the organization of the cultural and educational process.

    'Library' in the Language Consciousness of Modern Students: from a Book Depository to a Cultural and Educational Hub (Based on a Free Associative Experiment)
    (Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2024) Zhovnir, Maryna M.; Leshchenko, Tatiana O.
    ENG: Objective. The purpose of the given paper is to record modern students’ perception and interpretation of the library phenomenon, build associative field of the considered stimulus word, and analyze it in details. Basic options for the traditional and updated contextual compatibility of the lexeme library as an educational center, modern enlightening and cultural hub were presented and described in the article. Methods. In order to achieve the stated goal free associative experiment was conducted. General scientific methods of observation, comparison, generalization, description and systematization, as well as linguistic methods of linguistic observation and description were also utilized. Results. The results illustrate expansion of the connecting possibilities of the lexeme library and the transformation in its perception by Ukrainian and foreign students. Conclusions. The study proves that the interpretation of the library phenomenon by modern students doesn’t contradict codified meaning of the lexeme under consideration. Library is associated with learning, reading literature, acquiring new knowledge, skills and abilities. At the same time, the concept of the library has been expanded to correlate it with a renewed space for studying, spending free time, holidays, organizing events, and communicating with acquaintances.
