Abstract
The article deals with the problem of how bilingual children speaking Ukrainian and Polish and living in Poland understand and comprehend the Ukrainian cultural codes from folk tales. Research on the speech of bilingual Ukrainian children is a highly relevant direction in modern linguistics. Cultural codes are a key part of each culture. The aim of the research is to indicate and analyse how bilingual Ukrainian children living abroad understand cultural codes submerged in the names of well-known characters from Ukrainian folk tales. The ability to define describe and understand these characters shows the children’s knowledge of Ukrainian folktales and the connotations of selected proper names. The analysis of the surveys reveals how the peculiarities of cultural codes are identified, understood and explained by native speakers under the influence of external lingual and cultural factors.
