Regulative strategies in I.Severyanin's poetic texts (a case study of the collection of poems “The thunder-seething cup”)

The paper is devoted to the analysis of some regulative strategies characteristic of I. Severyanin's poetry included into his first big collection of poems “The Thunder-seething Cup” (1913). It was proved that the strategic principle of constructive dialogue with the potential reader is traced in I. Severyanin's poetry. It was revealed that the strong explicit regulative strategy of the homogeneous type at the level of the whole text and the unit of utterances providing the “transparency” of the author's intention / intentions is created by building the regulative model “the heading conjugacy with the lexical regulative structure based on the syntactic parallelism principle” usage and the lexical regulative structure based on the stylistic device of syntactic parallelism as particular case of repetition. The frequent usage of the regulative model “heading conjugacy with the lexical regulative structure based on the syntactic parallelism principle”, typical not only of symbolists' poetic discourse but also of the ego-futurist I. Severyanin, allows us to interpret this model as a universal means for creation of the strong explicit regulative strategy of the homogeneous type in poetry. Language game with the addressee as an ideostylistic feature of the ego-futurism pioneer who manifests himself both in the pre-text and text levels and is traced in unusual headings usage is identified in the texts. Headings and sub-headings which are opposed to each other or presence of “failure” (“shift”) which is a sign of transition to another regulative strategy (as a rule of deceived expectations) and functioning in the framework of futuristic poetry which is characterized by continuous changes, regenerations, transitions and different meanings of «form in dynamics» are typical of I.Severyanin's poetry. It was inferred that the dominance of the music context in I. Severyanin's poetry determines simultaneous realization of several regulative strategies closely related to each other as regulating means.
