Drawing on a wide corpus of written sources, the study examines the structural and semantic features as well as the functional and stylistic uses of the possessive pronouns\u00a0<em>\u043c\u0456\u0439, \u0442\u0432\u0456\u0439, \u0441\u0432\u0456\u0439<\/em>, the third-person forms\u00a0<em>\u0439\u043e\u0433\u043e, \u0457\u0457, \u0457\u0445\u043d\u0456\u0439<\/em>, and the plural pronouns\u00a0<em>\u043d\u0430\u0448, \u0432\u0430\u0448<\/em>\u00a0together with their derivatives across different stages of language development. The formal models underlying all attested forms are identified, and their semantic nuances, grammatical properties, and domains of usage are characterized. Special attention is devoted to the possessive pronouns of the third person \u2014 particularly their etymology, morphological structure, and syntactic functions \u2014 as well as to the identification of archaic and innovative features and the degree of their correspondence to or divergence from cognate forms in other Slavic languages.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 5px\">\n<h4 style=\"font-size: 18px;color: #333300;letter-spacing: 1px;margin-bottom: 6px;font-weight: 900\"><span style=\"color: #333300\">Keywords:<\/span><\/h4>\n<div style=\"font-size: 16px;color: #333\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">pronouns, word formation, Ukrainian language, diachrony<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height: 1px;background: #1d4338;opacity: 0.2;margin: 25px 0\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.6;color: #333\">\n<h4 style=\"font-size: 15px;color: #0a1a16;text-transform: uppercase;letter-spacing: 1px;margin-bottom: 10px;font-weight: 900\">legend<\/h4>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 25px;text-indent: -25px\"><strong>\u0410\u041e<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Kernytskyi, I.M., Kupchynskyi, O.A.
