Figurative and Motivational Situations of the «Saryanov» Corpus of Russian Poetry

Figurative-motivic situations combine the consideration of frequency named entities with the motives assigned to them, which are repeated by different authors. This is how the patterns of the local text are formed. In this context, the figurative-motivic situations associated with the name of the artist Martiros Saryan are considered as one of the patterns of the Armenian text of Russian poetry. In the «Saryan» corpus collected by the authors of the article, two main figurative situations were identified: 1) epiphany, comprehension. It is implemented in two versions: a) the lyrical subject comprehends Saryan's work after seeing Armenia; b) the lyrical subject comprehends Armenia after getting acquainted with Saryan's work. This situation of comprehension is semantically central in the poems, because it illustrates the inner transformation of the lyrical subject, his transformation; 2) aging. It is realized simultaneously in two versions, projecting on life and on art: a) Saryan person grows old, he is mortal; 2) Saryan-creator, his art are timeless, immortal. This is a universal lyrical situation that develops eternal themes of life, death and art. Only the first situation refers to the formation of the Armenian text, emphasizing the necessary participation of Saryan in the comprehension of Armenia by a lyrical subject.
