- Abstract
- As follows from the definition of verse, the main, generic feature of verse, which distinguishes it from prose, is division into lines. Nevertheless, it is still not clear what a poetic line is and why it is needed in a poetic text. The article lists the currently known mechanisms for constructing a poetic line that operate at all levels of speech organization, makes assumptions about their possible function in a poetic text, and also gives a detailed description of one of the stable syntactic patterns found in a poetic text. The correlation of connections between parts of a complex sentence with the compositional and subordinate semantics in verse and prose is investigated: each of the studied Russian and French authors (27,000 sentences) in verse in comparison with prose has an increase in the number of compositional relationships between sentences and non-union connections with the compositional semantics. The pattern is present in all analyzed authors in different languages (Russian, French), different periods and literary trends, different systems of versification. The pattern is especially pronounced in the position between the lines. Apparently, this feature supports the comparability ("paradigmatism") of the lines of poetry, mentioned in all modern definitions of the verse.
