Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the syntactic structure, semantic-functional potential and verse division of Pushkin’s introductions. Less than 10th part of verse Pushkin’s opening lines (62 representations out of 737) coincide with frames of a whole mono‒ or polypredicative unit. Initial lines coinciding with the frames of simple constructions make up only 6% from the total number of first verses and whole complicated binary structures form Pushkin’s first line ‒ only in 10 cases. Asyndetic binary and multi-component structures are typical for poetic introductions and make up the one fourth of all Pushkin’s introductions. As an introduction makes a syntactic composition of the following text, it is possible to expand this tendency to the polypredicative asyndetic structure of initial phrases to the whole lyric discourse at large.
