Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of imperative verb form functioning in the lyric works by Vasyl Stus. This verb form has been identified as morphological dominant in the fragments of poetic works by the mentioned author. The basis for the formation of the morphological dominant of fragments in the lyrical works by Vasyl Stus is the poetic selection of the central imperative verb form, the second person singular. Mostly this imperative verb form reproduces the modal meaning of request, wish, and advice, which acquires additional semantics due to its localization in the text. The fact that the author regularly repeats imperative forms in various ways, emphasizing their semantics using the linguistic and stylistic techniques is highlighted. It is noted that the poet involves the imperative form of the same verb and of various verbs, representing different communicative situations. Author’s usage of imperative mood grammemes separately or accompanied with an address construction is pointed out. Address constructions when used together with imperative form of verbs significantly add to creating poetic sense and meaning.
