FORMAL AND SEMANTIC INVARIANTS IN POETRY AND PROSE OF VARLAM SHALAMOV AND BORIS PASTERNAK

Abstract

The article analyzes a phenomenon of formal-semantic invariance in the creative space of V. Shalamov and B. Pasternak. The attention of the authors is focused on the phenomenon of parallel coexistence and syncretism of two forms of linguistic embodiment – verse and prose – within the framework of a single creative system. The authors analyze in detail some “twin” poetic and prosaic texts designed to reveal the most frequent equivalents in the poetry and prose of V. Shalamov and B. Pasternak. Cross-cutting images and motives are revealed that are refracted differently in the prosaic and poetic contexts of the authors analyzed. A comparative analysis of synthetic author’s creative systems is carried out. The unique phenomenon of linguistic bilingualism in the works of V. Shalamov and B. Pasternak in a progressive evolutionary aspect is considered.
