Про величання на ім’я та по батькові у листах письменників XIX - початку XX століття

Abstract

The significant way of expressing politeness towards addressee in the epistolary sty]e of the 19th - the beginning of the 20th century is etiquette patterns of calling by name and patronymic. They function actively in the letters of the writers of Eastern Ukraine and they aren’t almost used by Western Ukrainian experts of fiction style. The majority of the authors use both names in such patterns in vocative or nominative case. The existence of variants testifies to the absence of the united literary norm at that period of time.
