ONEGIN’S LAYER IN YU.N. TYNYANOV’S «THE PROBLEM OF POETRY LANGUAGE» // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2009. Issue 4 (82). P. 152-155

Tynyanov’s conception concerning «Yevgeniy Onegin» (not the motion of events but the motion of verbal masses) laid the foundation for making theoretical assumptions on message forming components of the text which are exhaustively presented in the book «The problem of Poetry Language». The concept differentiation structures of the poetic language such as unity and closeness of the verse series, dynamism of speech material, successive process of speech in verses suggested by Tynyanov in his «The problem…» represent Onegin’s text as a new form of poetic novel and within it – the conceptual status of the word deformed by verse. The paper deals with the instances of contiguity of «The problem of Poetry Language» to Pushkin’s novel implicitly forming the perspectives of investigating poetry semantics.

Keywords: poetic novel, tex’s eguivalent, rhythm, conceptual status of the word, structures of the poetic language

TYNYANOV’S PUSHKINOLOGY // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2012. Issue 9 (124). P. 166-172

In his final article «Pushkin», Tynyanov has specified the two-sidedness of Pushkin’s semantics as a major factor of the poet’s literary evolution (“of catastrophic force and speed“). Semantic two-sidedness produces “varying” meanings and consequently can act as it were a regulator of contradictory understanding of Pushkin on the part of contemporaries and the latest literary generations. In this context, it is important to note the interest of Tynyanov to “a high ode”, having dual, two-sided nature. The Tynyanov’s formalistic attitudes excluded, on the one hand, the efficiency of psychological approach to the description of literary phenomena; on the other – created necessary conditions for forming up poetic forms, i.e. theoretically proved literary models.

Keywords: Pushkin, “Ruslan and Lyudmila”, “Eugene Onegin”, Onegin’s stanza, semantic two-sidedness, “varying” meanings, dynamics of literary forms
