Summary/Abstract: Having examined poetic syntax as a component of poetics of S. Vorobkevych’s verses in this creative period (1863-1867) on the basis of determining the frequency coefficient (FC) of different kinds of syntactic or stylistic figures. And also allow us to outline S. Vorobkevych’s figure in an oll-Ukrainian literary context more clearly and complement our idea of poetic peculiarities of this period. Due to frequency coefficient (percentage of a certain poetic tlement in correlation to the overall numer of lines) usage we can make a comporative analysis and objective conclusions. We have found that early Sydir Vorob- kevych poetry (1863-1867) is characterized by such rhetorical figures as anaphora, epizeuxis, amplification, antithesis (FC – 0.01each), rhetorical questions, epiphora, gradation (FC – 0.02each), refrains, polisyndeton – 0.003 each, rhetorical address, inversion, conduhlication (FC - 0.005 each), polyptoton, traduction asyndeton, syllepsis(FC - 0.006 each), while ellipsis is used the most seldom (FC – 0.007), etc. The received data deepen our knowledge of S. Vorobvych’s poetry in genera. Sydir Vorobkevych (May 5, 1836, Chernivtsi – September,1903), is a Ukrainian Bukovynian writer, a composer, a musi- cal and cultural worker, an Orthodox priest, a teacher, an editor of Bukovynian periodicals, a painter. Poetic language has always been highly emotional, has been marked by imagery, and abounded in tropes and rhetorical figures. Poetic language is most characteristic of poetry with its vivid aesthetic and expressive potentie and sophisticated melodiousness. Poetic language thrives on inexhaustible resourses of a national language, its active and passive vocabulary, consistently acquiring its unique colouring in the author’s works and becoming a distinguishing feature of his style.
