Abstract
Russian poetry of the 20 th and the 21 st centuries is characteriesed by intensive usage of dialogueness. Lyrical dialogue involves poet’s addressing different interlocutors: real and fictitious, concrete and generalized, people, things and abstract entities. Various forms of substantives are used in address construction of poetic discourse in contemporary times: the archaic vocative form, the nominative case of nouns, the contracted colloquial vocative form and the nominative case of substantivised nouns. These forms perform different functions in modern poetry. The contracted colloquial vocative form points out the imitation of genuine dialogueness in the framework of colloquial discourse poetic representation. The bookish archaic form reveals representation of historic or religious subject-matter. Moreover it identifies the intertextual connections with Old Russian texts, Christian intertext. The form noun nominative case increases uncertainty and polysemy of the lyrical narrative . Key words: the address, the vocative form, the nominative case, poetic morphology, morphological poetics
