Information on the thesis

The dissertation is devoted to the study of lyrical speech on the communicative
plane, which is common to epic narration and dialogical form in the drama, which made
it possible to identify the peculiarity of lyrical expression as presentation form and to
create the typology of communicative instances in this literary genre. Instead, lyrical
expression, along with narration and dialogical speech in the drama, appears as the
original presentation form. Unlike epic and dramatic forms of presentation, lyrical
expression rhetorically expresses the inner world of lyrical I (feelings, thoughts,
meditative thinking, moods, and states) through presentation forms that imitate different
types of expressive speech: an internal monologue, lyrical dialogue, a pronounced
monologue, a description with imitation of subjectivity without subject, lyrical
contemplation, vision. The linguistic realization of these forms in lyrical texts is carried
out with the help of a variety of artistic and expression means of poetic phonics,
rhythmic, stanzas, graphics, lexicon, syntax, rhetorical figures, figurative system,
compositions, themes, intertextuality.
For the first time in the Ukrainian literature studies a systematic multilevel
communicative model of lyrical expression, its contents, forms, subjects of lyrical speech
and addressees is offered.
The concept of the specifics of the lyrics as a literary genre is specified, and the
methodology of studying the functional factors of the internal communicative structure
of lyrical speech – the addressant, the addressee and the lyrical expression – is improved.
It is proved that the features of lyrical communication are in the specific form of
presentation – the lyrical expression of thought, feeling, will, contemplation and play in
the parameters of lyrical subjectivity «I – here – now».
It was established that the expresser of lyrical expression is the subject of lyrical
speech, represented in the form of lyrical I and its modifications (lyrical We, the subject
of role lyrics, actually the author). As an intermediary between the external textual
biographical Author and his lyrical text, the intratextual subject of speech may be close
to the Author (lyrical I) or distant from him (in role lyrics). Many features show the
specificity of lyrical Self, in particular it’s expressing in the form of autocommunication,
which manifests itself in the merger of the lyrical addressant and the addressee.
The position of the lyrical addressee as an instance in the communicative system
of lyrical text, which performs many functions, is substantiated. Compared to an epic
addressee, the lyric addressee has many rhetorical modifications – lyrical I can refer to
missing persons (distance communication), natural phenomena (apostrophe), abstract
subjects, etc. Attention is drawn to the phenomenon of “quasi-addressee” inherent in
lyricism – addressed to dead or non-existent addressees. The presence of addressees in
the text has a genre forming function in such forms of addressed lyrics as a message,
hymn, prayer, lullaby, etc.
The classification of lyrical expression was made according to the criteria of a
subjective organization (lyrics of the first, second and third person), forms of artistic
imitation of speech of the oral (pronounced monologue, «tribune» poetry, etc.), written
(lyrical diary, letter), internal (reflection, internal dialogue, a stream of consciousness,
visionary lyrics) and autocommunication (contemplation, listening, combinatorial game
with codes and means of verbal and intermediary communication systems).
It was found out that experimenting with the combinatorial possibilities of creative
game with codes and means of verbal and intermediate communicative systems, modern
lyrics is looking for new ways of influencing the perceiver, having repeatedly reaching
unexpected aesthetic effects.
The intracommunicative model of lyrical speech offered in the dissertation opens
broad possibilities for understanding the artistic specificity of lyrics and its scientific
interpretation.
Key words: internal communication, lyrical expression, lyrical addressing,
addressant, subject of speech, lyrical Self, lyrical addressee, unnominated addressee,
hierarchical orientation, rhetorical instance, communicative situation.
