Abstract:

In the article, using the syllabocentric approach to the sound texture of verse and practicing the concept of phonosyllabeme, the phenomenon of shadow rhyme is analyzed as a typified form of the sound composition of verse, that demands the indispensable con- nection of several chains of sound repetition in the final word of a line. The semantic and structural conditions for the transformation of a shadow rhyme into a device to establish derivational-motivational relations between segments of a poetic text, leading to the anagram effect, are explored.
