EXPRESSIVE POTENTIAL OF VERBAL FORMS IN BORIS SLUTSKII POEMS

Abstract

Theoretical basis of the research is the works of such scientists as V. Grigorev, I. Kovtunova, O. Skorobogatova and others, who assert that the specific features of poetic text organization give the opportunities to form its immanent characteristics. They are figurativeness, functioning of the law of unity and tightness of the poetry line, verse rhythm and compositionality. It is traditionally believed that for the adequate analysis of an artwork it is necessary to take into consideration the elements of all language levels. In our research the units of morphological level were examined. Verbal forms were studied from the aspect of their expressive potential and their ability to form poetic senses in Boris Slutskii’s lyrical works. The purpose of the article is to trace whether the poet uses expressive possibilities of verb forms and to learn if the methods of actualization of morphological forms and meanings (juxtaposition, selection and attraction) are frequently used. The material for the study was Boris Slutskii lyrics written in different years. A number of excerpts of his poems were analyzed. Thus, we can conclude that the poet widely uses all the general means of actualization.
