Abstract

V.I. Abaev once mentioned that the Ossetian philology discusses primarily the social content of Kosta Khetagurov's poems, while the formal part of his poetry and his lexical mastery were almost neglected. Actually, the argument was referred to "Iron Fandyr" ("The Ossetian Lyre"), however, it is reflective of the general attitude to Kosta's Russian-language heritage. As of now the language of "Iron Fandyr" has been studied quite thoroughly and individual attempts to comprehend Kosta Khetagurov's Russian-language poetical form have also taken place. Still, we can hardly speak of considerable progress. Here, taking into account the general Ossetian and, specifically, Khetagurov's bilingualism, we propose the overall accelerated observation of Khetagurov's translingual poetic form: specific compositional practices, motivic structure, lexical and stylistic peculiarities, key features of stropping, rhyming, stanza, syntaxes, punctuation and genre modifications. This allowed, among other issues, to outline the comparative (with "Iron Fandyr") distinctness of Kosta Khetagurov's Russian language cyclus, the specific character of his lyrical hero and his obvious and latent intentions.
