Abstract.<\/strong> The article deals with the problem of the relationship between I.A. Bunin\u2019s language and artistic thinking. Its relevance is determined by the interest of linguists in identifying the uniqueness of the author\u2019s individual lexicon as the quintessence of the writer\u2019s worldview and perception of the world; the limited study of a number of semantic and semantic-grammatical dominants in his prose and poetry texts; and the significance of phytonymic vocabulary in Bunin\u2019s language. The purpose of the article is to identify the syntagmatic connections and the role of the lexeme \u201cforest\u201d (\u043b\u0435\u0441) in the structural organization of the sentences in I.A. Bunin\u2019s texts. The study was based on data from the National Corpus of the Russian Language, which includes 767 Bunin\u2019s poems and 99 prose texts. A total of 542 examples were extracted from these texts for analysis. It has been established that in the writer\u2019s literary texts, the lexeme \u00abforest\u00bb (\u043b\u0435\u0441) has two close but not identical meanings: \u00aba multitude of trees\u00bb and \u00aba space filled with trees\u00bb. Thanks to this, it functions both as a phytonym and as a topophlorism. The article describes the difference in the syntagmatic compatibility of the phytonym \u00abforest\u00bb (\u043b\u0435\u0441) and the topophlorism \u00abforest\u00bb (\u043b\u0435\u0441) with substantives, adjectives, and predicates; it also notes the use of the phytonym \u00abforest\u00bb (\u043b\u0435\u0441) in the structure of sentences with the semantics of \u00abexistence of an object\u2019s feature\u00bb, \u00abother existence of an object\u00bb, and \u00abstate of nature\u00bb; and the use of the topophorism \u00abforest\u00bb (\u043b\u0435\u0441) in sentences with the semantics of \u00abstate of nature\u00bb, \u00abexistence of an object\u00bb, and \u00abindependent movement of an agent\u00bb. The authors conclude that the syntagmatics of the lexeme \u00abforest\u00bb (\u043b\u0435\u0441) and its use in sentences of a certain structural organization indicate that I.A. Bunin created forest landscapes that combine material concreteness and ephemerality, as well as the unity of visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and olfactory modalities.<\/p>\n
