SPATIO-TIME ORGANIZATION OF THE SONG LYRICS OF ILYA KORMILTSEV
This article is devoted to the study of song lyrics by Ilya Kormiltsev. The purpose of the proposed study is to consider the space-time continuum of the poet’s song lyrics and highlight the main images and motives that organize it. The main research method is the structural-semantic method, however, to obtain a more accurate result, a statistical method of analysis of literary texts was used. The material of the study was the song texts of I. Kormiltsev, most of which were performed by the rock-group “Nautilus Pompilius”: we compiled a corpus that includes all the texts of I. Kormiltsev performed by this group. As a result of the study, the authors came to the following conclusions. The space-time continuum in I. Kormiltsev’s song lyrics is structured not through a direct indication of the place and time of action, but through the introduction of motifs and leitmotifs that pass from one poem to another, intertwine, forming a semantic unity of the poet’s artistic world. One of the frequency chronotopes is the chronotopes of childhood and sleep, passed through the biblical code. In general, the chronotope of Kormiltsev’s poetry can be characterized by the epithet “multi-layered”: it is divided into top / bottom, open / closed space, includes real and imaginary, dreams, dreams, visions. Through the fantasy world, which at the same time turns out to be more authentic, even prophetic, the biblical cultural layer penetrates into the ordinary world. Images of time and space are depicted through motifs associated with the elements of fire, air and water.
