Abstract

The author reviews the monograph by O.R. Temirshina, devoted to the psycholinguistic analysis of poetry of Egorov Letov, which is included in a broad cultural context. As a “methodological” key to Letov’s poetics the researcher offers an analysis of the connection between the author’s language and his model of the world. The author’s field of scientific interest includes such features of the poetic picture of the world of E. Letov as the category of emotiveness, gravitation towards impersonality, the focus on expressing internal experience, psycholinguistic mechanisms for transmitting emotions, body code, spatial-dynamic model, sound images and motivic-figurative clusters.
