THE POTENTIONAL OF LEXICAL REPETITION IN TEXTS OF KHANTY RITUAL SONGS

Abstract

The article is dedicated to one of the ancient stylistic means, which can rightfully be the substrate of rhyme. The Finno-Ugric folklore text has its own features of sound organization and rhythm organization. In this regard, it can be argued with a high degree of probability that lexical repetition serves as a universal basis for the further evolution of phonological expressiveness, for example, rhyme as the consonance of the end of words, and alliteration as the consonance of the beginning of words. Lexical repetition is also the minimum unit of the segmental level of phonostylistic. Lexical rhyme underlies such stylistic means as: reduplication, gradation, enumeration, syntactic parallelism, parcel, epiphora, anaphora, alliteration, rhyme, consonance and assonance. It also forms combined types of rhyme based on reduplications of lexemes and phonemes.
