Abstract. The article is devoted to the consideration of metatext and the definition of its lexical-semantic status in the coordinates of autobiographical discourse. Metatext is an actual object of research in the scientific paradigm of modern philological science, and the appeal to this term in the coordinates of various philological disciplines indicates its extensive heuristic potential. Metatext manifests the interaction of the main text and its pretexts, being a text about the text. Therefore, it is natural to be interested not only in its role within the fictional reality of a literary text, but also in its functions in the very process of creating such a text. The relevance of the undertaken study lies in the fact that the metatext is studied as a constituent of the text of a philosophical essay, participating, for example, in the formation of autobiographical discourse. Metatexts in the autobiographical discourse of B.L. Pasternak is the highest level of self-organization of the text-discursive space. They are focused on a dialogue implemented at different levels of the text, including for organizing auto-communication. In the article, the autobiographical discourse of B.L. Pasternak is interpreted as, first of all, reflecting the philosophical and aesthetic views of the author through metatexts. It is proved that the lexico-semantic markers of metatextuality are the personal pronouns I, we, the possessive pronoun our, which implements the illusion of a real-time dialogue with the reader created by the author. In the autobiographical discourse of B.L. Pasternak, the central place is occupied by the theme of creativity, art, poetry, which determines the functioning of metatextual elements marked by a limited set of lexical units (creativity, art, poetics, poetry). It is natural for the author to turn to various rhetorical figures, among which preference is given to metaphor, including that studied by Pasternak as a special aesthetic phenomenon.
