MNEMONIC POTENTIAL OF LYRICAL PARTING WORDS AS A PERMANENT FEATURE OF THE GENRE
The nature, essence, and even the matrix signs of lyrical parting words still remain not fully clarified, as well as many small genre forms - not only lyrics, but also prose. This can be explained by the unjustifiably excessive attention of literary critics to the study of traditional (leading) genres, often going to the detriment of the study of optional (secondary) literary forms, and on the other hand, the lack of fundamental works of a systematic nature and the very specifics of the genre proposed as an object of research, enclosed in its peripheral (marginal) position, which it is it still occupies in the literary process. The purpose of the article is to identify the most stable features of the genre, which give reason to talk about its historical dynamics of development. As a result, works were selected for analysis, bearing in their structural and semantic organization the most diverse and representative ways of genre world relations. According to the results of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the range of artistic modality of parting words extends from confidentially friendly instruction, preserving the folklore features of the parental order ("Parting words" by V. Kurochkin), to satirical discrediting of the didactic attitude originally inherent in the genre ("Parting Words to the son" by A.P. Sumarokov). The ways of genre existence are also differentiated - from motive to genre synthesis ("Parting Words" by I.A. Bunin). The main attributive features of lyrical parting words include the imperative of the lyrical subject's speech directed to the lyrical object, in which the didactic component dominates, the autological image of the path, the "borderline" chronotope, the small poetic form and the mnemonic potential inherent both in the named motive ("Remember!") and in contextual allusions, periphrases, consistent with the stage of the existence of the genre - from the canonical, where the leading principle of maintaining the life of the genre is the "memory of the genre", to the decanonic, modifying its appearance with the "memory of the genre".
