As Antonina Mitlosh, head of the press center of VSU, told "Lutsk Investment", this stage is a continuation of the seminar held at Ivan Franko Zhytomyr State University.
The existence in contemporary literary studies of a problem concerning the legitimacy of the use of certain literary terms, the functioning of rich synonymy in the terminological system, and the logic of using properly Ukrainian or borrowed nominants forced many scholars to focus their attention on resolving these issues.
The work of sections I-II provided for consideration of questions from literary theory, in particular terminological unification, the functioning of narrative terminology in Ukrainian literary studies, the evolution of definitions in literary studies, and so on; the work of section III concerned questions from linguistics, where the main attention was drawn to linguistic mentality and translation, the peculiarities of the use of nominative vocabulary in West Slavic speech, and confrontative aspects of Ukrainian and Polish terminology.
