Poetic Discourse as a Synergistic Space for Expressing a System of Values

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of poetic discourse as a synergetic system aimed at representing axiological dominants. The discourse is presented as a complex structural and semantic formation, actualization of the interaction of text structures with extralinguistic factors.

Methodology and sources. The methodological basis is the ideas and developments of the researchers in the field of discourse theory (V.Z. Demyankov, V.I. Karasik, A.V. Olyanich, Yu.S. Stepanov, T.A. van Dijk, etc.), linguoconceptology and linguoculturology (S.G. Vorkachev, N.A. Krasavsky, V.A. Maslova, G.G. Slyshkin, etc.), cognitive linguistics (N.D. Arutyunova, N.N. Boldyrev, E.S. Kubryakova, etc.), linguistic synergetics (V.Y. Barbazyuk, V.G. Budanov, V.L. Malakhova, etc.) and philological hermeneutics (G.I. Bogin, V.P. Litvinov, S.N. Bredikhin, etc.). The analysis was carried out by means of contextual and linguistic-hermeneutic methods, quantitative analysis techniques, crystallization technique.

Results and discussion. The main thing in poetic discourse is the metaconcept of humanism, implemented in texts through various images, concepts and conceptospheres, which act as axiological system identified through quantitative and qualitative analysis. Axiological dominants are verbalized in accordance with the uniqueness of spiritual and social culture, in close connection with linguistic and pragmatic components. Linguistic structures confirm the fact that humanism implies the ability of people to think creatively, assess the dynamics of the world, and transform reality, taking into account the diversity of existing relationships and interdependencies in the world.

Conclusion. Poetry creates an alternative human reality based on an axiological system with a wide range of functions, including: a mental function, an aesthetic function, a predictive function, a deontic function. Language specificity, based on the synergy of language levels, is aimed at forming a synergistic worldview and human creative thinking.
