"The Boiling Courage of High Thoughts": features of romantic poetics in the lexical composition of K. F. Ryleev’s lyrics (to the 230th anniversary of the birth)

K. F. Ryleev’s lyrics had no less an influence on the development of the lexical and stylistic system of the Russian literary language than his famous thoughts and poems. Its thematic and genre diversity, emotional richness, artistic and pictorial wealth stand out even against the background of the Golden Age of Russian poetry, which is quite representative in the above-mentioned aspects. A special study of Ryleev’s lyrics can significantly enrich linguistic stylistics and poetics, as well as introduce new data into the history of the Russian literary language. The above determines the relevance and scientific significance of this work. The main goal of the study is to show the role of Ryleev’s lyrics in the evolution of the genre and stylistic system of the Russian literary language of the Romantic era, i. e. the first quarter of the 19th century, and to identify its linguopoietic specificity. The leading methods were a cross-cutting onomasiological sample from lyrical texts, a linguostylistic analysis of the most indicative lexical units, and a systemic-semasiological interpretation of words and their groups. In some cases, the methods of historical stylistics, verse metrics, and general onomastics were used. As a result of the study, the features of the implementation of the system of lexical oppositions (stable antonyms) traditional for romantic poetics in Ryleev’s lyrics were revealed, the nature of the use of Slavicisms and high poeticisms was determined and described, the significance of Ryleev’s lyrics for establishing semantic and functional differentiation in the Russian literary language of individual words with full-voicedness and incomplete-voicedness was emphasized. An overview of anthroponyms in Ryleev’s poetic heritage was made and their artistic role was outlined, the contribution of Ryleev’s lyrics to the correction of semantic halos of some metric schemes was noted. The particular features of Ryleev’s idiostyle are revealed and illustrated: "non-established" vernacular, a tendency toward epithet tropeization, semantic enrichment of lexemes with the help of simple applications. A conclusion is made about the influence of Ryleev’s poetic creativity on the formation of the genre-stylistic system of the language of Russian literature, on the consolidation of the vocabulary of civil topics and the methods of its use.
