INNER FORM OF THE WORD AND POETIC IMAGE IN ACMEISM: PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECT OF THE CORRELATION
The article is devoted to the issue of the correlation between the linguophilosophical phenomenon of the inner form of the word and the concept of the “eidolon-image”. Eidolon is the main component of the aesthetic system of Acmeism - one of the main literary and philosophical directions of the Silver Age. Linguists define the internal form of the word as “image of the image”. In this interpretation we see an obvious connection and similarity with the acmeistic image-eidolon as the creative impulse of the artistic text. Eidolon anticipates the formation of a specific artistic image in the same way as the inner form of a word (representation) anticipates the formation of a concept. According to Nikolai Gumilev, the founder and leader of Acmeism, following Alexander Potebnja, an outstanding linguist and philosopher, poetry is not only a language phenomenon, but also a special form of speech, a unique and creative way of thinking. A distinctive feature of this phenomenon is a thought transformation with the help of a certain image, “image of the image”, the inner form of the word, the analogue of which in Acmeism was eidolon.
