The relevance of the research undertaken is due to the interest of modern humanities in the linguostilistic and semiotic aspects of the linguistic representation of the world. The material for the study is the essayistic text “Watermark” by I.A. Brodsky, Soviet and Russian poet, writer, essayist, Nobel Prize laureate in literature (1987). The essay, created by the author in 1989, has a biographical character and is devoted to the history of his travels to Venice. The theoretical basis of the study is made up of works in the field of stylistics of philosophical and artistic discourse (N.S. Avtonomova, N.M. Azarova, V.V. Bibikhin, I.P. Smirnov and others), representations of text units (S.V. Piskunova and others). Within the framework of this article, an attempt is made to analyze the semantic structure of the essay, the features of modeling the semantics of text landscape units in the individual author’s picture of the world of I. Brodsky. Landscape units with the ability to “external illustrativeness” are represented in the text of the essay to a greater extent by color-imaginative and sound-imaginative lexemes, which, in addition to the semantics fixed in the language, acquire additional semantic shades in the context of the artistic text, reflecting the individual author’s perception of the world. The author repeatedly manifests precisely the visual component of the urban space he describes.
Keywords: text landscape unit, author’s language picture of the world, philosophical and artistic discourse, Joseph Brodsky
