Summary/Abstract: The work explores the sound recording of V. Vysotsky’s ballad Interrupted Flight.The goal is to describe the representation of the key image of the text. Hypothesis: the appeal to the key image of NEDO, which is a symbol of Russian linguoculture, produces non-trivial results. The ballad was studied by literary critics against other classical works; the image of the ballad hero was characterized; linguists studied the ballad by exploring the complex prefix nedo- in comparative studies and its existence in literature. The linguopoetic analysis showed that the representation of the sound image is not always carried out with the help of anaphony and its variety – anagram. Representation is described in six aspects: by the number of representable parts of a complex sound image (complete and partial), by the distance between the representable parts (contact and distant); by the method of representation of parts of the sound image (direct and inverse); by the manifestation of the representation of the sound image (sound-letter and sound); by the form of the representable part (continuous and discrete); by the place of representation of the part of the sound image: analytical and synthetic; by quantitative composition of the sound-letter part of the representation (complete and reduced). The general characteristic of NEDO in the ballad indicates that the key image conveys meaningful and conceptual information, and the message of the work, fate, depends not only on circumstances but also on the position of a person. Four lexico-grammatical classes of words and phraseology are involved in the implementation of a complex sound image. The proposed methodology for studying anaphony and anagram in a poetic text is also effective in linguopoetic analysis.
