STUDY OF THE SONNET GENRE BY STUDENTS-PHILOLOGISTS (ON THE MATERIAL OF S. KRYZHANIVSKY’S CREATIVE WORK)

Abstract

The article emphasises that it is increasingly difficult to identify oneself as part of a separate ethnic community in today’s globalized world and for this reason an important component in the system of national-language education of the individual occupies local lore. Scholars emphasise that the literary local lore is a pedagogical category, a stable pedagogical phenomenon, a systemic structural component of modern literary education.
Despite significant work on the problem of diversity of aspects of literary local lore in the educational process, there is a lack of textual studies of writers of Mykolaiv region, which should have helped students to understand the deep essence of the heritage of artists of the region, deepen knowledge of its history, its outstanding fellow-countrymen and also to promote the formation of universal spiritual values. In addition, the study of such material will provide opportunities for future teachers of philology to deepen theoretical knowledge of literary studies.
The article actualises the concept of "Sonnet", defines its types, describes the sonnet tradition in Ukrainian literature and draws attention to the peculiarities of studying these forms of poetry on the material of poetic practice of one of the most famous literary figures not only Mykolaiv region but also Ukraine of the XX century by S. Kryzhanivskyi, such as the "Sonnet Reversed", Double Sonnet, Acrostic Sonnet, etc. It is noted in the proposed work that the artist’s work has not been covered in critical sources for a long time, his poetic findings have not been used in university and school practice, in particular his sonnets for pupils’ ideological and aesthetic development. It is established that the artist is the author of 14 varieties of sonnets, the study of which is relevant in theoretical and practical aspects.
The content of stylistic and linguistic work of students with a poetic text in the process of their study has been characterised. It is concluded that the optimal organisation of classes will give an opportunity for students to better understand the sonnet form, the poet’s work in the context of not only the literature of the native land, but also the all-Ukrainian literary process, realise the value of spiritual and aesthetic values, contribute to the formation of a competent reader.
