INVECTIVE VOCABULARY IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE UKRAINIAN MASS MEDIA DURING THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR: STYLISTIC LAYERS AND PRAGMATICS OF MEANING

In scientific research, the invective vocabulary of the period of the RussiaUkraine war (2022-2023) was analyzed using the language material of the Ukrainian mass media. The corpus of collected material gave reasons to single out the following groups and subgroups of invectives: 1. Personal: 1) immorality, humiliation of dignity and qualities; 2) assessment of mental abilities; 3) assessment of physical characteristics and invective designations of a person's appearance. 2. Social: 1) immorality of relations, such as lies, fraud; 2) manipulative actions regarding social processes, personalities, etc.; 3) invectives of social origin and status, political views, etc. As evidenced by the collected mass media material of the period of the RussiaUkraine war (2022-2023), in the language of modern Ukrainian journalism, invectives of various kinds are widely used, which give a negative assessment mostly to the leaders of the aggressor country or those politicians who support the Russia -Ukraine war, and as well as citizens who are on the side of the military invasion. Under the influence of extra -linguistic factors - the Russia -Ukraine war - we traced the trend towards actualization of offensive vocabulary in the language of the Ukrainian mass media. Invectives mostly give the language of the mass media a negative assessment: they convey contempt for the invaders and especially for their politicians.
