Activation of international prepositive elements in poetry at the turn of the 20th -21st centuries

Abstract

This article examines the rise of international prepositive elements in Russian poetry at the turn of the 20^th-21^st centuries and the prefixoids euro-, post-, anti-, counter-, pseudo-, quasi-, and super-. The relevance of this work is the growing role of internationalisms in modern word formation, reflecting the processes of globalization and cultural transformation. The aim of the study is to identify the specific features of prefixoids’ functions in poetic usage, to determine their semantics, stylistic potential, and their role in the creation of artistic images. The research methodology includes word-formation, contextual, and semantic analysis of poetic derivatives based on the poetry of Alexander Levin, Vladimir Strochkov, and Natalia Gorbanevskaya. The article analyzes both common and occasional units, demonstrating the expansion of the word-formation potential of poetic language under the influence of international models. We have established that prefixoids in contemporary poetry not only enrich the nominative potential of language but also become a tool for language play, irony, and philosophical reflection. The article concludes that the activation of these elements directly reflects the processes of globalization and internationalization, and poetry serves as a linguistic laboratory where new word-formation models are tested, enriching the expressive means of the Russian language and capturing the dynamics of linguistic consciousness in the new era.
