Функционально-семантические особенности дериватов с префиксами недо- и пере- в русской поэзии рубежа XX–XXI веков
Functional and semantic features of derivatives with the prefixes nedo- and pere- in Russian poetry at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries

Summary/Abstract: In modern Russian, word formation is increasingly relying on prefixal models. Prefixation is traditionally considered to be a productive source of verbal forms. However, it is also widely employed to form substantives and adjectives in poetic language. Within poetic discourse, prefixes are the most powerful means of expression and fulfill a range of functions: nominative, stylistic, cognitive, and emotive. Among all prefixes, nedo- and pere- occupy a distinct place. Due to their semantic richness and density, they can significantly enhance the expressiveness of derivatives. Our analysis is based on a detailed study of 687 poetic works by Natalya Gorbanevskaya, Victor Sosnora, and Vladimir Strochkov. From these works, a total of 126 derivatives with nedo- and pere- were identified. The ability of nedo- and pere- to influence the degree of intensity, which underlies their extensive use in highly expressive and hyperbolic modern poetic contexts, was demonstrated. They were found to be part of both usual and non-usual, potential and occasional, models utilized by modern poets who are actively creating new words in search of innovative modes of expression.
