SOME FEATURES OF THE DISTICH AS A STROPHIC UNIT IN THE UKRAINIAN SYLLABIC VERSE OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY

The article outlines the problem of the place of the distich as a strophic unit in the binary opposition ―strophic – astrophic‖ verse, as well as considers several options for diversification from a clear two-verse structure with a constant double rhyme.

description The article outlines the problem of the place of the distich as a strophic unit in the binary opposition ―strophic – astrophic‖ verse, as well as considers several options for diversification from a clear two-verse structure with a constant double rhyme. Research methods: formal-statistical, comparative and descriptive. Scientific novelty. Analysis of the material and poetic research allows us to conclude that there is every reason to interpret the vast majority of poetic texts with a continuous double rhyme as strophic two-verse derivations. At the same time, in such texts can be noticed different ways of enrichment, diversification of such a simple strophic structure. Conclusions. There are cases of ―division‖ of the two-verses into replicas of two different charac- ters, which does not destroy the strophic structure in dramatic works with a two-verse strophic organization. Somewhat blur this structure of the text, in which occasionally appears ―tercet‖ and larger pieces of text per rhyme (either due to neglect and the ap- pearance of ―extra‖, additional line, the clause of which forms a triple rhyme with the clauses of the neighboring distich, or deliber- ately creating a kind of aesthetic effect ―stringing‖ additional rhyming clauses). It was also quite common practice to introduce additional regular internal rhymes (mostly in the caesura position), which significantly enrich the sound. Perspectives for further re- search of the stanza level of ancient Ukrainian syllabics are seen in a detailed study of the stanza of syllabic verse, including the con- text of its correlation with intonation and semantic division, as well as in the attraction of various strophic forms to certain syllabic proportions.
