Abstract
Aim. With consider the correlation between the title and the text of a poetic work based on the material of the work of the poetess from the Arkhangelsk region Irina Kemakova.
Methodology. By the method of continuous sampling from three poetry collections, one-word titles of poems were identified and distributed according to the frequency of use of the title word or its derivatives in the text. The “external” titles of poems in the text of which the title word is not used are particularly noted. The semantic connections of titles and texts of poetic works are consistently considered.
Results. The analysis showed that the title and the text of a lyrical poem enter into certain relationships with each other, revealing a special meaning of the poetic work, while the integrity of the text is constituted, and the meaning of the title itself is enriched. The title performs not only nominative, but also predictive and structuring functions.
Research implications. The theoretical significance lies in determining the semantic links between the title and the text of a poetic work. The practical significance of the materials of the article is due to the possibility of their use in the practice of teaching philological disciplines.
