Grammatic innovations in the modern poetry as manifistation of linguistic creativity

The paper deals with the general issues of linguistic creativity and outlines that it manifests itself most clearly in poetic text. We analyze the neological forms of poetry from this viewpoint and point out that they resulted from the interaction of the word-formative and grammatical levels of language. We also systematize the models of derivation from such parts of speech that were not previously involved in the process of word formation, for example, the nouns derived from pronouns, the imperative forms with nonstandard patterns of government, reflexive verbs with a modified actant structure, short adjectives formed from relative complete forms and the forms of comparative adjectives. The revealed productivity and paradigmatic nature of the neological formations allow asserting that the models for their derivation are potentially embedded in the language, which enables each of them to realize themselves in individual author’s forms. At the same time, the contextual analysis has shown that innovations acquire the creative function in texts. The study confirms that language creativity is a special category of linguistic poetics and an area for studying those individual author’s transformations in the field of poetic speech that serve as the basis for renovation and expanding the very system of poetic language.
