The article is devoted to the study of the structure of the rhyme
field CITY. Its microfields are outlined and their lexical composition
is analyzed. It was revealed that the microfields are clearly formed
via “urban space” (“structure of space”, “urbanonyms”), “buildings
and institutions”, “objects and materials”, “transport”.
“Structure of space” contains words: avenue, alley, boulevard,
street, square, park, suburb, avenue, market, garden, etc. Rhymes
with the component “street” predominate, the combination of
this rhyme with verbs is typical. There is a strong associative
connection, on the one hand, between the word square and, on the
other hand, rain and rinse; it is a kind of landscape sketch, visual
and sound image of the city. Among the components of rhyme –
urbanonyms, we single out the names of material monuments of
history, temples, places of worship, streets, squares, historic sites,
modern neighborhoods and massifs.
“Buildings and institutions” is a fairly wide group of nouns:
academy, pharmacy, bar, library, railway station, garage, hotel,
kindergarten, factory, coffee shop, casino, cafe, cafeteria, cinema,
club, bookstore, office, shop, hospital, pawnshop, museum, pub, post
office, railway station, restaurant, cathedral, supermarket, theater,
prison, philharmonic, skyscraper etc. Rhyme with a component
“factory” marks Soviet era. Popular urban rhymes are combinations
with the word “station”, in particular the cliché further (adj.) – at
the station.
In the microfield “Urban objects and materials” the most
attractive for rhyme comprehension is the word “light”. Often used
in the rhyme position, the word “pavement” creates a sound image
of a hollow road. Of all the names of modes of transport, the word
“tram” is the most popular. This rhyming component, associated
with the unchanging attribute of life in the city, has not lost its
poetic relevance over the centuries.
It is concluded that the processes of urbanization actualize the
“urban” rhyme both for the creators themselves and for researchers
of the language of modern poetry. |
