Chronotopic patterns in Russian rock poetry

Abstract

The article considers patterns that can be identified when analyzing the Russian rock poetry in the prism of a chronotope, called «chronotopic patterns». The spatiotemporal-semantic connection underlying the concept of «chronotope» can be identified in many works by Russian rock poets. In the course of the present study, we attempted to classify stable chronotopic images in accordance with deterministic nominations based on the ultimately generated meanings in the text of rock poets. Of interest is the range of forms that the chronotope can acquire in a rock text due to the verbalization and concretization of time and space. The plot-forming function of the chronotope is due to the importance of the coordinates of space and time in the coordinate plane of the work of art, along with images, but the key role is played by the perception of time and space by both the lyrical characters and the recipient, which underlies the principle of the author’s influence and forms the holistic unique concept of the rock work. Chronotopic patterns as repeating stable patterns of thinking have different ways of manifestation, concretized by certain nominations at the lexical level, either of which contains a deep meaning and a key to understanding the work as a whole, becoming a springboard for the development of the plot.
