On linguistic and cognitive mechanisms of author’s identity representation in poetic discourse

The purpose of the article is to justify the linguistic-and-cognitive basis of an author’s identity in poetic discourse. The analysis of linguistic-and-cognitive mechanisms of artistic idiosyncrasy individuality representation is carried out on the basis of Arseny Tarkovsky’s works. The hermeneutic analysis of poetics in the works by Tarkovsky allowed confirming the assumption about a Gestalt-type cognitive structure that might generate meanings erasing in image-bearing systems and depict them as the system of interpenetrating motifs. The specificity of the above named structure is in its ad hock production, which does not allow to represent it as a pattern of a syntactic type that consists ofsome elements. Thisstructure hasthe status ofa fundamental (world-forming) cognitive model, which seems immanent to a prior structure of the poet’s subjectivity and acquires the highest value rank in its axiological universe. Its status of immanent mediation between powerful faceless meanings circling in the sphere of the unconscious, and the manifest (created) aspect of the artistic world, that is, its sophianic, substantive (text-forming) nature, is confirmed in the article. The semiotic and cognitive specificity of Arseny Tarkovsky’s idiosyncrasy is predetermined by the fact that the metaphysical source of his texts is introspection, immanent to insight, in which the “intelligent face” of the world is revealed, that determines the gnostic character of the conceptually defining motives of his poetics.
