Sound Image in M. Lermontov's Lyrics // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2001. Issue 1 (26). P. 3-7

The paper investigates sound images in Lermontov's lyric poetry. The authors point out that the sound ac- quires a special methaphoric symbolic meaning in the artistic system of the poet and subdivide it into sound images (sound-farewell, sound-wellcome, sound-death, sound-high perseptions, etc.). Sound images in their psychological as well as philosophic symbolistic mean- ings in Lermontov's lyrics are analysed.

Sounds as Displaying Inspiration from the Outside in M.Ju. Lermontov's Poetry // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2003. Issue 1 (33). P. 81-85

The article analyses the early lyrics of the poet taking into account his mature creative work. Sounds-images are looked upon as the echo of the legend «On the mis¬sion of a singer» so they are considered as very mean¬ingful for the poet's work as a whole. Moral and aesthetic problems are cleared out, and special attention is paid to the problem of the hero's choice: either to heed the sound of the demonic inspiration or to follow the voice of the Almighty.
