G. Ivanov

The article deals with the reconstruction of the concept of (non)return in the lyrical poetry of G. Adamovich and G. Ivanov. The concept is considered in two ways: as an image in the space of culture and as a methodological formula for the analysis of images of the artistic consciousness. The main lexical means of representing the concept are cognate verb forms, the most frequent of which is the verb “return”.

The article considers communicative models of G. Ivanov’s lyric poetry and their transition from St. Petersburg period of work to that of the exile. An assumption is put forward that the change of the poems’ communicative structure can serve as one of the indicators of the individual style evolution.

The article analyses G. Ivanov’s memoire prose created in emigration (Winters in St. Petersburg, Chinese Shadows, sketches and essays) from the perspective of communicative strategies and tactics of depicting the Soviet reality. The author takes into account the fact that due to the multi-layered genre nature of the memoires the strategies can be of two types – behavioral and speech ones. The former strategies are related to the plot collisions, the latter – to the linguistic means of their representation. Each strategy is actualized through a set of speech tactics.
