The originality of the subject is the usage of the category of a concept as a conceptual metaphor which is an attempt to approach the reality and a part of the author’s vision of the world. In the article the author actualizes semantic gradations of concept being in the lyrics of Alexander Kushner. The analysis shows that this concept is realized in different images and motifs, becoming the dominant of Kushner’s poetics. The semantic field of the concept includes such meanings as things/objects of the surrounding world, the artifacts of culture, (everyday) life.
The purpose of this article is an attempt to characterize the category of corporeality in the poetry by Vera Pavlova and to identify its sources. The analysis shows that this category is realized in different images and motifs, becoming the dominant poetics. In her works, the carnality is not limited to describing the man but it turns out to be an important, universal code that allows you to see the world in terms of unity and organicity. In this respect, Pavlova’s aesthetic exploration resembles the acmeist and – more distant – an ancient tradition.
