Dialectal Forms in Synonymous and Antonymous Constructions in Yesenin’s Poems

Abstract

Yesenin is a Russian artistic idea, the most widely read poet in Russia and at the same time not at all accessible to the public. The dialectal forms in synonymous and antonymous constructions in his poems still seem mysterious even to such sophisticated connoisseurs as professional writers and linguists. He came from the depths of Russia, from where, as Gogol wrote, from time immemorial, "in the breast of the people" a native folklore spring was beating. Yesenin deeply knew the life of peasant Russia, was closely connected with the life of the Russian peasantry - all this contributed to the fact that he was able to become a truly popular, national poet and in vivid works say his truthful poetic word about the main events of his era. The problem of the topic under study is that, despite the increased interest of linguistic researchers and critics in Yesenin's works, there remain many questions, controversial issues and unclear situations that we will encounter in this thesis and which will be clarified.
