Abstract
After a period of continuous troubles that Ukraine has witnessed over a period of its history, the issue of national identity today appears to be more acute than ever before. It is explained by various reasons that are not under consideration in this particular article. However, the notion of national identity, its factors and modern perspectives are of a great scientific importance. Amid the principles of identity there is one that refers to existential feeling of belonging and the desire to unite in factions with those who share similar interests. Besides, national identity is viewed as the factor that affects preservation and development of Ukrainian nation. In this article, national identity is understood as a collective structure that illustrates how similar or different the elements of society are. In most cases it is realized by means of collaborative work which is a membership of particular groups and committees. Ukrainian immigrants are thought to be those representatives of Ukrainian nation who experience the feeling of belonging while living abroad. Lesia Bohuslavets, whose literary work is under consideration in this article, is an example of those conscientious Ukrainians who feel responsible for cultural and national preservation. Moreover, literary works enable scientists to examine immigrants’ subconscious attitude to the surrounding world. It is worth mentioning that humour is a distinctive feature of the language used by the writer in her collection of the novels known under the title ‘My Australian Kuma’. The procedure of content analysis as a statistic means of language evaluation made it possible to examine five factors of national identity of Australian immigrants. These are the collective identification realized in religious and cultural beliefs, common history and the feeling of belonging, active social life which is illustrated by one’s participation in cultural activities, geographical belonging and national character. It is assumed that national identity and active social life criteria were marked with the highest variables.
