Abstract
The article studies the functions of the temporal lexeme summer in the framework of the language and speech aesthetics.
The main purpose of the study is to analyze the semantics and figurative properties of this lexeme, used in poetic texts of the 20th–21st centuries.
To this end, we used such methods as descriptive-analytical, semantic-stylistic, quantitative and the method of analyzing dictionary definitions. The study of language material is based on poetic works of the 20th–21st centuries. The conducted research allows us to conclude that the word summer is most often used in its dictionary meaning ‘the warmest time of the year following spring and preceding autumn’, which is the basis for the implementation of the figurative possibilities of this lexeme. There are eight paradigms, in which the word summer is used as a subject of a comparison. The image of the comparison in these models is implemented using the words related to the concepts of “a living object”, “something mental”, “a plant”, “something existential”, “space”, “light”, “information” and “an object”. In addition to direct ones, three inverse paradigms have been identified, in which the subject of the comparison is represented by the words belonging to the semantic spheres “a living object”, “something mental” and “information”. The highest productivity is characteristic of the “summer → a living object” paradigm, which includes nine images. Three figurative models have the property of reversibility: “summer → a living object”, “summer → information”, “summer → something mental”.
