Засоби увиразнення української барокової поезії: лінгвостилістичний погляд

Abstract

The mysterious world of Baroque poetry has scientific interest among both literary critics and linguists for a long time. However, despite some elaboration of the problem, there are some gaps that need linguistic and stylistic coverage. It determines the relevance of the consideration of expressive and pictorial means of different linguistic nature, manifested in the poetic works of the Baroque era. The purpose of the research is to identify and characterize the means of linguistic and artistic expression of the language of the Ukrainian Baroque poetic. Fundamental in the formation of a system of artistic means, realized in Baroque poetry at all levels of language, is a combination of rational and irrational principles. In the poetry of that time, the “atmosphere of the literary game” was consistently created, which was embodied with the help of certain linguistic and expressive units. The author concludes that Ukrainian Baroque poetry is characterized by the use of various tropes and stylistic figures, including assonance and alliteration, equiphony and metaphony, paronymic attraction and phonetic epanalepsis, sound imitation and capitalisation, metaphor and metonymy, comparison and epithets, personification and periphysis, hyperbole and meiosis, parallelism and gradation, antithesis and oxymoron, polyptoton and annomination, doubling and anadiplosis, anaphora and epiphora, homeothelium and chiasm, amplification and polysyndeton. Among them, the artists mostly used figures based on exaggeration, opposition, repetition, and metaphor. The masterful combination of different stylistic means ensured the creation of an expressive, unique and perfect linguistic and artistic picture of that time. The logical continuation of the started research is to find out the influence of the Baroque tradition of decorating the fabric of a poetic work on the further formation of the Ukrainian poetic language.
