On the question of hermeneutic parameters of the artistic word (“Military leader” by A.S. Pushkin)

Abstract

The article is about identifying and describing the features of incarnation of meaning in the verbal structure of a literary work. Despite the fact that the study of the language of fiction has a long history, the connection of verbal organization with the features of updating the artistic meaning in a literary work remains not clear enough and needs to be studied. The purpose of this article is to study how the incarnation of meaning is reflected in the verbal organization of the work. Incarnation of meaning is understood as its “translation” into the being of a hero in an act of aesthetic communication. As the material of the study, the poem by A.S. Pushkin “Military leader” was chosen, since it depicts through the artistic word a work related to another – non-verbal – type of art, namely painting. As a result of the analysis of the “Military leader” a number of features of updating the artistic meaning in the verbal structure of the work are revealed, namely: 1) the connection of the incarnation of meaning, on the one hand, with the ontologization of the word, on the other hand, with the verbalization of the depicted being; 2) strengthening the representativeness of the incarnated meaning; 3) explicit opposition of the discreteness of the verbal structure and the continuity of artistic meaning; 4) actualization of the communicative nature of the depicted being.
