Abstract
The relevance of the topic is substantiated by the current trends in studying a poetic text as a specific speech-thinking formation focused on the aestheticization of the images of the reflected world and possessing pronounced communicative and pragmatic components. The aim of the study is to determine the features of the formation of the supertext layer in O.E. Mandelstam’s poem “Alexander Gertsevich Lived...”. The authors use methods of contextual and interpretative text analysis and the method of intertextual analysis as linguistic tools. The study views a poetic text as a cognitive-synergetic phenomenon that emerges from the interaction of discursive and interdiscursive factors. It is determined that the transformation of the linguistic sign semantics in the poetic masterpiece is directly related to the thickening of meanings as a result of interaction of different figurative means and stylistic figures in a limited textual space. It is concluded that the supertextual layer of Mandelstastam’s poem is formed by various idiostylistic manifestations, such as the syntactic organization of the poetic text, which manifests the rich rhythm-melody, verse musicality and the phonosemantic dynamics. We emphasize that the supertext allows to express the poet’s inner creative state, to convey the dynamics of struggle with himself, to show the polemical search for philosophical guidelines for self-assessment of his spiritual state and its meaning for the creative process. The prospect of research is the development of the theory of supertext in poetic discourse.
