ЭПИТЕТ «КРУТОЙ» В ЛИРИКЕ ПАВЛА ВАСИЛЬЕВА: СООТНОШЕНИЕ ОБЩЕЯЗЫКОВОЙ И ОККАЗИОНАЛЬНОЙ СЕМАНТИКИ
THE EPITHET “KRUTOI” IN THE LYRICS OF PAVEL VASILIEV: THE RATIO OF CONVENTIONAL AND OCCASIONAL

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the specificity of the use of the epithet, expressed by the adjective krutoi, in the lyric texts of Pavel Nikolaevich Vasiliev, the poet of the first half of the twentieth century. His work is notable for its dynamism, special imag- ery. That is why the epithet krutoi with its semantics of sharpness, strength, abruptness, decisiveness and severity is so in demand in Vasiliev’s poetics. Usual semantics is transformed in poetic discourse and is overgrown with additional semantic increments, to varying degrees associated with conventional meaning — from an explicit connection to a distant one. Depending on the degree of transformation of conventional meanings, we distinguish three types of epithets: convention- al epithets, semantic occasionalisms and semantic metamorphoses. Typical for Vasiliev’s poetics is the transformation in accordance with his ideological and artistic views of the epithets expressed by the word krutoi. Semantic occasionalisms and metamorphoses make up 84.54% of the use of the epithets under consideration. With the help of occasional epithets, the poet creates unique macro-images and symbols that are essential for his poetic worldview, for example, the symbol of a horse.
