ЧИСЛОВИЙ РИТМ ТА МОТИВ РОЗДІЛЕНОСТІ В РОСІЙСЬКОМОВНОМУ ПОЕТИЧНОМУ ТЕКСТІ (на прикладі поетичних творів Генадія Айгі, Юрія Ряшенцева та Юлії Олефір)

The article considers the numeric rhythm as one of the subtypes of the morphological rhythm
– a phenomenon that represents a wavy periodic alternation of certain morphological forms in
the structure of a poem or its fragment. The actuality of the research is determined by insufficient
study of the phenomenon of the numeric rhythm and its connection with the composition-thematic
structure of the poetic work in modern linguistics. The purpose of the article is to analyse the texts
with the numeric rhythm. The main tasks of the article are the identification of features and regularities
of the numeric rhythm, as well as its connection with the composition-thematic structure
of the poetic work. In the article it is proved (as a case study of the poetical works by Hennadii
Ayhi, Yurii Riashentsev and Yulia Olefir) that the numeric rhythm as an alternation of singular
and plural grammemes contributes to the actualization of the idea of separation, barrier, contrast
or opposition, which often results in the motive of separation in a poetical work. It is asserted that
in some cases the numeric rhythm is intensified by the gender rhythm, which is an alternation of
grammemes of the masculine and feminine gender, in order to actualise the motive of a couple’s
splitting up. At the same time, the absence of neuter gender grammemes is significant.
