THE ISSUE OF STRUCTURE OF MULTICOMPONENT COMPLEX SENTENCES IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE XIX CENTURY POETRY

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the specifics of the structure of multicomponent complex sentences in the poetry of Pyotr Vyazemsky and Anton Delvig, famous poets of the XIX century, not so well known to readers nowadays. Data obtained during the work on the“Syntactic Dictionary of Russian Poetry” are involved. The most productive models of multicomponent complex sentences are defined. The article presents the analysis of the poetic texts of two authors, based on a number of criteria: the size of the construction,syntactic relations, the use of semi-composite sentences, and the use of homogeneous subordinate clauses. Despite the formal similarity of the analyzed structures in terms of the sentences size and the basic syntactic relations, there are fundamental differences in the choice of certain types of subordinate clauses (in particular, clauses of time and place) by the authors, in the usage of different types of complicators (participial phrases, vocatives and parenthetic constructions), and in the presence or absence of homogeneous subordinate clauses in a sentence. The findings provide a more consistent and accurate description of the specificity of Vyazemsky’s and Delvig’s poetry, which enables to determine the authors’ stylistic preferences, and to clarify the role of these authors in forming a poetic picture of the XIX century against the background of other poets of that time.
