Inner speech as one of the aspects of poetry by V. S. Nekrasov

The subject of the article is a particular feature of the poetics of the unofficial poet V. N. Nekrasov, namely the similarity of the syntactic structure of the text to inner speech. The article analyzes the differences between how inner speech functions in the poetry of Y. A. Satunovsky, whose creative discoveries Nekrasov was influenced by, and in Nekrasov's own poetry: while Satunovsky's poetry maintains a completed character of syntax, the structure of Nekrasov's poems lacks wholeness, as the main text of the works consists of numerous discursive markers and deictic units. It seems that the use of these linguistic units as a primary part of a work of art is common in Russian concretism, which aimed to abandon the "poetized word" and focused on everyday speech as poetic. The methodology of the study is based on linguopoetics: first, the article notes a characteristic feature of inner speech in the structure of Nekrasov's poetic works, such as the frequent use of discursive markers and deictic units, and then attempts an analysis of their functioning in the text. The main conclusions of the conducted research indicate that through text graphics, various phonetic techniques, and other methods, the poet creates a particular composition in his works, where the semantic emphasis is placed on the last line. Meanwhile, the main part of the artistic work may consist of discursive markers or deictic units. However, unlike everyday discourse, where these linguistic units ensure the success of the communicative act, in Nekrasov's creativity, they, along with other artistic techniques, perform the function of defamiliarization, which underlies every artistic act. Thus, discursive markers and deictic units both reveal their own creative potential and actualize inner speech as a source of poetic expression, which appears to be a distinctive feature of Nekrasov's poetry.
