Abstract
The report focuses on the issue – representation of normative stylistic codifications of the
XVIII cen. in the works by A. P. Sumarokov, V. K. Trediakovsky, M. V. Lomonosov, G. R.
Gerzhavina.
The study of language patterns typical of elevated ode-style gives the opportunity to uncover
the potentials of affective language means and their improvement, to reveal the environment for
alterations and demolition of ode genre canon (the coordination between the matter, style, type of
speech and literary genre) in the poetry of classicism, to elicit lexical means that will later gain the
status of functional normative in the belles-lettres style.
