Лінгвістичне дослідження української рими: завдання, проблеми, перспективи

Rhyme versatility creates a necessity for multifaceted research into its structural, functional, semantic, psycholinguistic, lingua-culturological and other aspects. The integrating efforts of linguists, literary scholars and other professionals around a common goal promote the formation of an interdisciplinary branch — rhymology. Rhymography deals with the theoretical questions regarding the compilation of rhyming dictionaries. We consider the most urgent problems in Ukrainian rhymology and rhymography to be metalanguage and term system description, the theoretical generalisation of rhyme researchers’ results, the study of rhyme structure, its typology, rhyme creation mechanisms as well as the mechanisms for its reception, the reconstruction of the history of compiling rhyming dictionaries, their classification, the working out of techniques, the lexicographic description of rhyme, etc.
