THE SOCIAL CHRONOTOPOS IMPACT ON THE PERCEPTION OF THE LEXEME PATRIOTISM BY UKRAINIAN YOUTH

The article deals with the peculiarities of perception of the lexeme patriotism by modern Ukrainian youth in conditions of the current social chronotopos and reveals the gender differences in the perception of this lexeme. The authors of the article attempted to investigate into the social meanings connected with the notion of patriotism and to prove that their appearance was conditioned by the social chronotopos where the personality of the young person was formed. The article is based on the results of the associative experiment conducted in 2017 among 200 Ukrainian students. The authors of the article offer their own vision of the mental and gender aspects of young people's perception of the word-stimulus patriotism and prove the social precondition of the receptive activity of human consciousness, in particular the dependence of the perception of the word as a linguistic unit on the conditions of social chronotopos.
