Abstract:

The article deals with the description of conjuction of two different meanings or shades of meanings of polysemic words in one word usage in the poetic text. Some types of contexts with such conjunction are discussed: sentences with co-ordinated parts, statements with similes, etc. Meaning conjunction in different parts of speech is studied; the combination in one word usage of free and phraseologically bound meanings; of usual and terminological meanings, of the dictionary word meaning and its semantic transformation in the poetic language. Special attention is paid to investigation of meaning conjunction of words of the same semantic class, based on the study of color adjectives. Adjectives red, purple, pink, blue and derivative verbs are discussed. In poetic metaphors and similes two menings of these words overlap: the direct meaning referring to the tenor and the figurative (personifying) meaning referring to the vehicle. The figurative meaning characterizes the color of human skin caused by some physical / emotional processes (not race). The conclusion is made that in such words in the literray text coincidence of the direct level of the text and its figurative level is established. It is proposed to include search for other classes of such words and their description in the task of future research.
