DOI: 10.23951/1609-624X-2025-3-147-154
The purpose of this article is to identify the basic principles and stages of an independent analysis of a literary work and to ensure a minimum set of tools necessary for practical development by readers-senior classes or students of the procedure for analyzing a lyrical poetic work. The material for the analysis was the methods of immanent and intertextual analysis described in the works of literary critics, taking a linguistic commentary; Illustrative material was chosen by the text of the poem by Ye. Yevtushenko “Two Bicycles”, the method of studying the problem – conceptual and comparative analysis, schematization. Most Olympiads, including the All-Russian School Olympiad in Literature, offers a task for the analysis of the text of a literary work - prose or poetic. An analysis of literary works of different genera and genres, different cultural eras and literary areas are a philological skill that requires the ability to use their reader impressions, reflect, highlight, compare, compare elements, generalize the observations made and interpret them. The ideas about a holistic analysis of a literary work are expanded in the article due to an appeal to linguistic commentary and intertextual analysis. The intertextual analysis helps the interpretation of the literary work in the case when the “internal”, contextual connections are supplemented by “external”, connecting this text with other systems of references through quotes, roll calls, heroes, plot motifs, events, or even proxy elements (in lyrics in lyrics (in lyrics). The beginning of the analysis seems to be a complex step in the procedure for independent analysis of the text of the literary work, therefore, the article highlights different methods of the start of the analysis and demonstrates their potential on the material of the poem Evtushenko “Two Bicycles”. The author concludes that in an independent analysis of the reader-schoolman, the detection of patterns in the organization of various aspects of the literary work contribute to both the moments of the reader’s “surprise” and the purposeful highlighting of fragments of the text, their comparison and comparison, the search for semantic laws and, then, the interpretation of the identified data. The article proposes a short algorithm taking into account the main aspects of the analysis of the lyrical poetic work.
