Abstract

The article deals with different approaches to the problems of motif analysis. The point of view of researchers, who consider linguistic, and in particular, grammatical specificity of motif representation in the Russian-speaking poetry of the XIX–XXI centuries, are described. The cognitive grounds of singling out the notion of completeness as a semantic universal in the works of A. Vezbitskaya are discussed. We hypothesise that the completeness motif in Russian is represented by the pronoun “all” – “all”, “always” and that this meaning can be transferred using the full categorical morphological paradigm. Atypical for a non-fiction text, the simultaneous representation of morphological paradigms in a fiction text is a way of grammaticalizing this concept. The analysis of significant poetic material allows us to argue that Russian poetic discourse of modern and contemporary times presents numerous variants of representing the completeness motif by means of deployment and joint representation of the morphological paradigm of time, gender, case, person, i.e., polysemous morphological paradigms. In Russian poetry the full paradigm of gender forms a stable sense of spatial and subject completeness (the meaning “all” / “all” is grammaticalized). The meaning “all” is also conveyed by the person paradigm of the pronoun and the verb. The case paradigm forms the meaning of the meaning of the concept named by the case paradigm of a particular lexeme. The temporal paradigm in artistic realization forms the meaning of “always”. We consider the poetic reception of grammatical paradigmatic representation of grammemes as evidence of active development of poetic philology. Grammaticalization of poetry, characteristic of the Russian artistic discourse of the XX-XXI centuries, led to a regular occurrence of paradigmatic blocks in poems. Individual blocks of complete morphological paradigms began to refer to precedent texts, forming intertextual discursive links. It is argued that complete paradigmatic blocks, conveying the meaning of completeness, serve as a significant marker of contemporary Russian-language poetic discourse.
