СОЧЕТАТЕЛЬНЫЙ ПОВТОР СОМАТИЗМОВ В ПОЭЗИИ АНДРЕЯ БЕЛОГО
COMBINATORIAL REPETITIONS OF SOMATISMS IN THE POETRY OF ANDREI BELY

Summary/Abstract: The article summarizes some results of the study of the names of human body parts (somatisms) in the poetry of Andrei Bely. Theanalysis carried out in the work revealed Bely’s complex aesthetic system, where intertextual fi gurative connections are establishedby re-including the names of human body parts with certain realities or events of reality (112 contexts; about 10 % of all the constructionsincluding a somatic lexeme). The article substantiates the idea that in the poetic works of Andrei Bely repetitive combinationsof somatisms with the same components, introduced by the poet throughout his creative journey into different poetic works to depictdiverse poetic pictures and images, characters and details, link his poems into a “single text”, refl ecting the aesthetic tasks of theauthor and the integrity of his original creative impulse. The work focuses on the grammatical aspect of combinatorial repetitions ofsomatisms in Bely’s poetry, which are used not only as a means of getting to know the parts of human body in the process of namingthem by a poet, but also as a linguistic technique for analyzing the somatic sphere in fi gurative and conceptual relationships and itsplace in the poetic world of Andrei Bely, as well as for characterizing the poet’s idiostyle. The supporting illustrative material showsthat in Bely’s various poetic works written in different years a) he more often uses repetitive combinations of somatisms with verbs,and less often – with nouns and adjectives; b) his favorite verb lexemes, with which he repeatedly syntactically combines the samesomatic lexemes, usually referring to the upper part of human body (face, head, nose), are the verbs from the lexico-semantic groupof “body position change”. The results of this research may be interesting for literary scholars and critics exploring the works ofAndrei Bely, and can be used for compiling his poetic dictionary.
