Expressive word formation in the poetic language of Oleg Chukhontsev and Natalia Gorbanevskaya

   The study of expressive word formation in the works of writers and poets, their idiostyle and the issues of occasionality are important areas of modern linguistics. The phenomenon of emotions has found a vivid reflection in the Russian language at various levels. Expression occupies an important place in the axiological (evaluative) language picture of the world; therefore, there are quite a lot of works devoted to the study of emotional-evaluative words as a means of representing the worldview of masters of the word. The study of expressive word formation in the language of modern poetry helps to understand the complex cognitive process of the author’s interaction with the world. The research into this phenomenon in the language of various writers and poets makes it possible to identify similarities and differences in the linguistic consciousness of the individuals in question. The article analyses derivative formations that have an emotional coloring in the language of modern poetry. The new trend of poetic word creation studies both well-known word-formation models and occasional ones. The article characterizes emotionally colored words, formed in a suffixal way, using the methods of word-formation, semantic and contextual analyses. Among them are derivative units with suffixes –chik-, -shchik-, -k-, -ok-, -ot- and occasional derivatives with the studied morphemes. The study is based on the poetic texts of the turn of the 20th-21st centuries; in particular, we studied the works of Oleg Chukhontsev and Natalia Gorbanevskaya. Expressive word formation in the authors’ poetic language reflects both their intentions, ways of thinking, mood and feelings, and describes the style and content of their poetic text. By analyzing the literary texts of these poets we study language personalities in the context of the modern era and trace the expressivization features of their language at the turn of the century.
