Abstract<\/strong>
\nThe article substantiates the selection of the macrotextual metaphor SHEVCHENKO IS TALKING TO US (hereinafter referred to as the \u201cconversation\u201d) in the poetic texts of the Kobzar. It is proposed to take into account its stylistic functions in the rhythmic and intonation construction of poetic mini-texts, during the reception of key Shevchenko thought images in modern poetic creativity, as well as as a way of decoding \u201cdark\u201d places in the poet\u2019s texts. The indicated macrotextual metaphor is interpreted not as a verbal figurative phrase, but as (1) a structural and textual unit of Shevchenko\u2019s entire speech creativity, which makes his idiostyle recognizable by rhythmic and intonation transitions; (2) a reflection of Ukrainian society on evaluative and prognostic aphorisms and quotes, which are assigned the function of signs of national-cultural and socio-mental identity; (3) the process of decoding incompletely understood or newly perceived minitexts.
\nTo characterize the Kobzar\u2019s language creativity, the verb construct-metaphor was chosen, which expresses Shevchenko\u2019s act as an individual, verbal-artistic creativity-conversation and a continuation of the modern national-cultural dialogue \u2013 immersion in the poet\u2019s contexts with the aim of decoding them, capturing them-reception.
\nIn the proposed fragment of the analysis of Taras Shevchenko\u2019s idiostyle, the philosophy of his language, three blocks of the deployment of the macrotext metaphor \u201cconversation\u201d are proposed: rhythmic-intonational structure and alternation of tonalities of mini-text fragments as dialogic unity; reception of Shevchenko\u2019s thought image in modern poetic practice; decoding of the author\u2019s word usage for modern readers.
\nKey words<\/strong>: metaphor, Shevchenko\u2019s language, macrotext, minitext, decoding, dialogue, tonality, rhythm-melodic, reception.<\/p>\n
