Abstract
The linguopoetic analysis of A. I. Odoevsky’s poem "Where are you dashing... " characterises the linguistic markers of the Caucasian and Siberian topos (locus amoenus/local) texts. To achieve this objective, the study employs comparative, intertextual, and cultural analysis based on a componential analysis of vocabulary. The article aims to study the means of verbalisation of the "Caucasian" and "Siberian" topos texts in A. I. Odoevsky’s poem "Where are you dashing…". Observation of the poetic text makes it possible to conclude that though it contains no toponymic markers indicating its belonging to the locus amoenus text corpus, the poem clearly shows other characteristic features of such texts. First, it is the cumulative function which forms the basis of concepts with local semantics. The next is semantic and figu- rative convergence of the linguistic concepts "North" and "South". One more characteristic feature is the presence of diverse intertextual connections and the use of symbols and archetypes.
