Visualization of markeme links between russian poets of the first third of the XIXTH century

Abstract

This paper aims to review, update and expand the results of markeme analysis of Russian poetry, implying a detailed description of interactions between authors, their typicality/uniqueness, as well as the most common markemes.To achieve this goal, the concepsts of Index of Markeme Similarity and Index of Relative Chronological Validity are used. The research is based on the lists of markemes extracted from texts by 15 Russian poets of the first third of XIX century. Via stratification, the core and the periphery of interval and linking markemes as well as their dominant and vice dominant are defined. The same approach applied to individual authors' lists of markemes, as compared to interval markeme list, allows establishing typical and unique representatives of the studied chronological interval. The relations of authors are described via the Index of Markeme Similarity depending on their common markemes and reflecting their similarity and visualized via graphs showing centers of attraction and directed links between them.
