Rhythm-forming principles for creating character portraits in the "Literary evening" by I. A. Goncharov
Introduction . I. A. Goncharov is a recognized “painter” of Russian literature, a classic of portrait descriptions. The means of creating a portrait are different, and the study of rhythm-forming factors as a way of creating a literary portrait is not numerous enough. In poetic speech, rhythm arises mainly at the level of form (meter, rhyme, stanza). The rhythm of artistic prose creates repetitions at different levels of content and form of the artwork. Purpose : to identify some rhythm-forming means of creating portraits of characters in Goncharov’s “Literary evening”. Materials and methods. The subject of the study is the later work of the writer, which allows to identify some patterns inherent in Goncharov’s small and novel prose. The main research methods are historical-genetic and typological. Results, discussion . The study of rhythm as a way of creating character portraits is the least studied aspect of Goncharov's poetics. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the study of rhythm-forming factors in the creation of some portraits in Goncharov's “Literary evening”. Conclusion . The writer focuses on the image of an acoustic, visualized, audio detail or feature. Intertext and rhythm play a unique role in the portrait creation. The rhythm-forming means in creating portrait descriptions are different: rhythm occurs both at the level of semantic, metatextual correlation of one character with another, and is created by lexical, grammatical repetitions.
