АНЖАМБЕМАН У СОНЕТНОМУ ВІРШІ

Abstract

This article contains a short overview of theory and practice of the poem text, dealing with the phenomenon of enjambment. It should be stressed that Ukrainian poetry (both classic and modern) widely uses the figure of enjambment. There is a number of recently published articles by Ukrainian authors offering the study of this poetic figure in different aspects of different individual styles. But for obvious reasons there are no such studies about sonnet texts in particular. Regarding the sonnet poem, since the times of the first French theorists of the 17-18 th centuries up to modern reference editions, genre definitions of its figurative structure almost always contain a number of restrictions. There should be no repeated words, the rhymes should be exact and voiced, every stanza - with the relevant rhyming system - has to be a complete syntactic entity etc. The author (using as example a number of sonnets of Ukrainian poets) tries to show that the enjambement accented word in the sonnet text is as natural as in any other poetic text. And as in any other poetic text (depending on the author’s intention) it can play an important semantic and stylistic function. The main meaning and functional shift of enjambement word on the structural level is being studied here both in the system of simple and compound sentence of the sonnet. Quite often we can observe the phrase shift from one stanza to another, from quatrain to tercet. An example of such enjambement structure of the poem where the shift is being observed in every line and every stanza is a sonnet of Dmytro Pavlychko "Слова”. Another rare phenomenon of syllable shift in the sonnet poem can be found here: Дихнуло весною, Десною... Над супер- / крутою урбанню.Над біль./У долі моєї чебрець і канупер / З чернігівських піль / (А. Мойсієнко).
