Communicative stylistics of the text: regulative models in N.A. Zabolotsky’s poetic creations

The article considers regulatory models reflecting the features of N.A. Zabolotsky’s poetic worldview and the dynamics of his creations. The relevance of the research is related to the need to study the effectiveness of the creative dialogue between the author and the addressee based on the linguistic means used by the author and their special foundation. This is due to the development of a global problem of understanding and specificity of aesthetic impact on the reader. The goal of the article is to clarify the definition of the regulatory model and to identify the features of their release in N.A. Zabolotsky’s poems written in different years. As material for the article used N.A. Zabolotsky’s poems of various years from the author’s collections Columns and Poems (1926–1933) and Poems (1932–1958). The research based on the use of the methodology of the communicative stylistics of the text, including the methods of semantic-stylistic, contextual and comparative analysis. It is stated that among the regulatory structures reflecting the interrelation of individual regulatory means at the level of text elements, the concept of a regulatory model is highlighted in the communicative style. Unlike other researchers worked within this scientific field, regulatory models are considered in the article at the level of separate relatively autonomous fragments of text in associative-semantic terms, corresponding to a certain micro-goal of the author in the process of general textual deployment. These mixed intermediate regulatory models reflect the interrelation of various regulatory tools and stylistic techniques and are considered as one of the stages in the implementation of the overall target program of the text in accordance with the author’s intention. They have their own specifics for different authors. Their identification is important interpretatively for understanding the author’s idiosyncrasy in his dialogue with the reader and studying the features of the author’s poetic worldview. In N.A. Zabolotsky’s lyrics, the dominant models of this type include regulatory models that include, in addition to various types of tropic blocks, the method of personification. The most frequent in early lyrics are regulatory models, which include tropic blocks and the grotesque. In the late lyric, among the regulatory models of this intermediate type, combinations of tropeic blocks predominate, often including the doubling of trails of the same type. By the nature of semantic relations and functions in the poet’s lyrics, these regulatory models are models of an amplifying-convergent type. The conducted research revealed some features of N.A. Zabolotsky’s idiosyncrasy in the communicative and activity aspect from the point of view of the author’s verbal skill in organizing a dialogue with the reader. Further study of various aspects of the regularity of poetic texts is of interest for the communicative theory of text, linguistic pragmatics and communicative stylistics.
