Syntactic dictionary of Russian poetry of XVIII - first half of XIX century

Development of dictionaries comprising the language employed by Russian poets (individual or associated with any period in the development of literature), including computer lingvography, with such subsections as lexicography, phraseology, morphemography, paremiography - is an actively and fruitfully evolving process in modern linguistics and stylistics direction. However, accumulated in Russian philology vocabulary materials, text corpus, concordances of individual writers and certain literary periods are not helpful in revealing characteristic features of a particular writer’s ideostyle at the syntactic level. It is explained by the lack of special computer program-lemmatisers instrumental in making the sentence analysis of the texts not only at the level of a phrase, but also at the level of a sentence. Special computer programs can help to identify a particular grammatical model used to build simple and complex sentences in the author’s text and to reveal the frequency of certain structures’ occurrence. As a result, the area of poetic syntax remains deprived of Concordance - a promising and convenient tool of grammar material inventory, which is widely used in research practice. Any fundamental research project should result in a syntactic dictionary-concordance of syntactic structures employed by Russian poets of classical period. The dictionary can be presented in the hardcopy (paper) and electronic (network) versions reflecting syntactic inventory of Russian poetry, usage frequency of different structures by particular authors, and concordance of capital nominations, which are viewed as predictive units of the text level.
