Метонимия в поэзии Саши Черного и Владимира Высоцкого

Abstract

The article deals with the description of lexical metonymy in Sasha Cherny and Vladimir Vysotsky’s poetry. The author notes the most frequent models of the metonymic transfer of meanings characteristic of the works of both poets, illustrating them with numerous examples from the texts. The article identifies models of substantive, adjective and verbal metonymy. The author emphasizes that in Sasha Cherny’s poems substantive metonymy prevails. Adjective and verbal metonymic transfers of meanings are less represented. Specific features of metonymy in Vladimir Vysotsky’s poetry are noted. Characteristic features of V. Vysotsky’s poems are such linguistic phenomena as metonymic concretization and generalization, an abundance of verbal metonymic hyphenation, as well as inverse actant metonymy in nouns. The observations made by the author can be useful for both linguists and philologist experts in literature.
