The primary focus is on the poet`s work previously unaddressed from the point of view of lexical structure and stylistics of the text. The paper on a single case study basis implements the search of internal laws of the art world impact combining with a survey of previously unexplored volume and various parameters` classification of the author`s metaphorical units. Features of the work`s metaphorical system were used to reconstruct linguistic fragment of I. Selvinsky`s worldview. The principles of creative thinking of Soviet intellectuals of the 30-s, with their ideological and aesthetic preferences, is exemplified by I. Selvinsky’s artistic thought which is expressed in symbiosis of reduced and high poetic styles. In the verses of the poet-publicist the motives with high-flown and propagandistic, neutral-mix-style with both printed and spoken are intertwined. Within reduced, i.e. spoken style and all its out-style varieties the author demonstrates tremendous diversity and abundance of normal nomination-summative as well as evaluative-expressive metaphorical units embedded into the context of the artwork. Socio-linguistic pastiche, focused on the language of a particular social environment, stands out just as the aesthetically determined pragmatism, imagery, emotionality and expressiveness do. We define the expressive function of metaphor of “Journey...” as leading and invariant.

metaphorical field, expressive function, genre and style specifics, prototypical effect, aesthetic impact, fragment of the idiostyle in linguopoetic.
