V. K. Trediakovsky's Syntax in the Aspect of Some Trends in the Development of Russian Literary Language and Poetic Language

The aim of the study is to identify the most important syntactic features on the material of original poetic works of small and medium genres in the artistic system of V. K. Trediakovsky.

The results of the work testify to the high activity of non-union sentences in the grammar of his poetry, in comparison with the same indicators in Kantemir's and Lomonosov's works, as well as to the special inclination to use the techniques of segmentation and subjective modalisation of the phrase in the form of isolated turns, introductory and insertive syntagms, joining constructions, nominative subject, rhetorical exclamations, questions, vocatives and single-joint structures. V. K. Trediakovsky is the creator of the longest lyrical statement (156 words) of the era from Kantemir to Karamzin. 

The identified features demonstrate that Trediakovsky's searches in the field of ‘grammar of poetry’ not only corresponded to the main directions of development of Russian lyric syntax in general, but even outstripped the general poetic tendencies. V. K. Trediakovsky is a bold innovator and experimenter, whose role in the search for new language of lyric genre forms that had just begun to emerge in Russia, unfortunately, is still underestimated.
