The article based on Tsvetaeva's essay "My Pushkin" material considers functions of repetition as one of the means of metatextuality which is defined as a text characteristic related to the presence of structures in it that are used by the author for commenting, explaining his own text in order to achieve the communicative goal related to an adequate perception of the text by the reader in accordance with the author's intention. In order to fully convey her impressions of acquaintance the heritage of A.S. Pushkin in early childhood Marina Tsvetaeva in the essay makes the style of the narration as close as possible to the emotional children's speech abounding with repetition. It is noted that repetitions being polyfunctional units, along with others, can implement in the text metatext functions, the main of which are the following: clarification, elaboration, explanation of author's own text, its structuring, reference to foregoing, verbalization of the author’s cognitive activity, arrangement of accents, highlighting the distillation and drawing the reader’s attention to the most significant, in the author’s view, fragment of the text. Metatext functions can perform word-formation (root), lexical and syntactic repetitions. The structural and semantic features of repetitions which are relevant to the implementation of metatext functions are studied, foremost among them are: lexical content, contact or distant arrangement of repeating units relative to each other, full or partial (with truncation, complication, variable) coincidence of repeating units. Keywords: metatextuality, metatext functions, repetitions, root repetitions, lexical repetitions, syntactic repetitions.
