Abstract

The article examines the history of the creation and publication of Velimir Khlebnikov’s poem «Pen Pan». Various options are juxtaposed: lifetime publication in the collection «Four Birds» (1916); edition of the text undertaken by Yu. N. Tynyanov and N. L. Stepanov in the «Collected Works» (1930), the text of the poem, edited by N. I. Khardzhiev in «Unpublished Works» (1940); a new version of the poem, published taking into account the textual research of A. E. Parnis in the collection «Creations» (1986); two versions of Velimir Khlebnikov published in the last «Collected Works» (2000), edited by R. V. Duganov, the first of them is published for the first time from the IMLI manuscript, the main version is printed according to the «Creations», taking into account Khlebnikov’s correction in a copy of the collection «Four Birds» (1916), owned by G. N. Petnikov. The study of the lexical composition of the autograph and various variants of «Pen Pan» in the comparative typological aspect allows us to speak of Khlebnikov’s poem as a «process», the basis of which is the movement from the generation of text to the generation of meaning.
