FORMS OF INTENSIVE IN THE POETIC LANGUAGE OF A. PUSHKIN

Abstract

The analytical category of the intensive in the syntactic structure of the Russian language is a means of representing the expression, gradation, evaluation. It belongs to the emotional sphere. In the form of the intensive these means are created by the particles как, так, какой, такой - grammatisized pronouns. In Pushkin’s poetic language the forms of the intensive are organically included in a clear syntactic structure of the verse. The grammatical potential of the particles is consistent with the semantics and stylistics of the main component. Bright expressive pictures are created in the poetic text: on the one hand, pictures of approval, admiration, enthusiasm, love, and on the other hand, of censure, blame, resentment, contempt, hate. The article highlights the high degree of evaluation in the intensives that contain words with the evaluative semantics (хорошо, чудно; мила, etc.); repetitions and interjections (Ах! О! Боже!), etc. In Pushkin’s poetic language the forms of the intensive occupy its rightful place as the grammatical and stylistic means of expression, emotion, evaluation, graduation.
