Problems of the Composition Theory. The Phenomenology of Compositional Aspects of the Lyric Poem

Summary/Abstract: Under the compositional aspects of the lyric poem we must understand the attempt to show the »transcendental (i. e. aprioristic, non-concrete) meaning« of the generic (i. e. general, typical) features of lyric poems, understood as lyric poetry. Phenomenology, therefore, consists of understanding and interpreting (explaining) the complex of phenomena characterizing the existence of lyric poetry. One of the fundamental transcendental-generic features of Iyric poetry is the so-called lyric brevity (smallness of size) or perceptibility. The study of this phenomenon presupposes analysis and interpretation of its verticality and horizontality, of its frame, of its beginning and end. On the other hand, the mechanisms of semantic oscillation and semantic self-enfolding direct our attention to the compositional meaning of such features as rhythm, verse, the relationship between verse and sentence, rhyme, the stanza form, etc. Perhaps the basic category of lyric poetry (as a genre) is its tendency towards the semantization of spatial categories (e. g.left/right, up/down, horizontal/vertical) which makes the verse character of lyric poetry as its »natural form« understandable.
