Образное поле "сердце/душа" в поэтическом тексте (на материале русской поэзии XIX–XX веков)
The figurative field "heart/soul" in the poetic text (based on the Russian poetry of the 19th–20th centuries)

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the figurative designations heart and soul. For analysis, the author uses metaphors, comparisons and nominal periphrases taken from the works of Russian poets of the 19th–20th centuries. The concept of a figurative field is substantiated, its composition is established, and its system relationships are described. The article considers stable images and ways of their reinterpretation in a number of idiostyles and traces the evolution of tropes. The continuity of some images (fire; water bodies; birds etc.), the weakening and fading of traditional semantic connections (for example, heart/soul — temple) and the emergence of new ones are noted. Semantic connections, only outlined in the poetry of the 19th century, become widespread in the 20th century (heart/soul — music; flora; human; animals, insects, fish). The 20th century sees the emergence of a figurative likening of the soul/heart to a dwelling, a home. The poetry of the 20th century is characterised by reduced associations and depoeticisation of traditionally lofty images.
