THE LEXICAL COMPLEX «WINTER» AS THE NATIONAL CONSTANT IN THE LANGUAGE OF RASSIAN POETRY

Abstract

The time semantics may become weaker
and another seme, dictated by the context may take the
central position in the poetic language distinguished by
special suggestibility. The usage of the lexems which
belong to the lexical-semantic field «winter», presenting
the incarnation of the national symbol, in the poetic
speech is the striking example of such semantic transformation.
The comparative analysis with the poetry of
the «south» authors also confirms this. The lexical-semantic
complex «winter» at the same time can have
both positive and negative connotations, the latter in
most cases prevails. The national symbols can be extended
also to the concept of chronotop and temporary
transspective.
