  6. The role of M.V. Lomonosov in the literature In 1755, M.V. Lomonosov reformed the Russian literary language by combining Old Church Slavonic with the vernacular. He applied an idiosyncratic theory to his later poems – tender subjects needed words containing the front vowel sounds E, I, YU, whereas things that may cause fear (like “anger,” “envy,” “pain” and “sorrow”) needed words with back vowel sounds O, U, Y - an early version of what is now called sound symbolism.

  7. The role of M.V. Lomonosov in the literature M.V. Lomonosov was the author of poems, epistles, tragedies, satires, fundamental philological works and scientific grammar of Russian.

  8. The role of M.V. Lomonosov in the literature M.V. Lomonosov was the greatest Russian poet-enlightener of the 18th century, one of the founders of syllabic-tonic versification. Lomonosov was the founder of philosophical and Russian odes of high civil character.

  9. The role of M.V. Lomonosov in the literature Abroad Lomonosov worked in the field of Russian poetry and created the harmonious theory of the Russian syllabic-tonic verse, which was presented by him in “Letter on rules of Russian versification” and which is still in use today.

  10. The role of M.V. Lomonosov in the literature He understood that there wasn't a uniform Russian literary language or a uniform Russian culture. He decided to do everything possible to lay the foundations of new Russian culture, science, literature and literary language.

  11. The role of M.V. Lomonosov in the literature His “Russian Grammar” which defined features of Russian literary language, was the first real Russian grammar; “Eloquence compendium” is a course of general theory of literature. The treatise “About benefits of church books in Russian language” is the first experience in Russian stylistics. Poetry occupied an important place in the life of Lomonosov: “Conversation with Anakreon” and “The Hymn to Beard.” He also wrote the plays “Tamira and Selim” and “Demofont” and numerous odes.

  12. The role of M.V. Lomonosov in the literature Reacting to Trediakovsky's tract of 1735, "The New and Brief Method for Writing Russian Verse," Lomonosov comes up with his own method and writes "A Letter on the Rules of Composing Russian Poetry." In developing Trediakovsky's basic idea (that Russian verse ought to be measured in feet rather than in syllables) into a more flexible system, Lomonosov establishes the syllabatonic mode that remains the most basic element of Russian verse composition.

  13. The role of M.V. Lomonosov in the literature 1742-1744Intensive period of both academic and poetic production. Works from this period include his most famous odes, "Morning Meditation on the Greatness of God" and Evening Meditation on the Greatness of God on the occasion of the Northern Lights" (see right), and the first edition of his "Short Guide to Rhetoric."

  14. The role of M.V. Lomonosov in the literature 1751The Academy publishes the first collection of Lomonosov's poetry. 1752M.V. Lomonosov publishes the long poem "On the Utility of Glass" and writes the second play, Demofont, which is less successful than Tamira and Selim.

  15. The role of M.V. Lomonosov in the literature 1757M.V. Lomonosov publishes "Russian Grammar". For the Moscow University press, he begins work on the first volume of his collected works, for which he writes the "Foreword on the Utility of the Ecclesiastical Books in the Russian Language." In it he establishes the importance of the relationship between spoken Russian and Chruch Slavonic, arguing that, because of its connection to Ancient Greece via the Byzantines, the ecclesiastical language makes intellectual life accessible to the literate Russian.

  16. The role of M.V. Lomonosov in the literature Spoken Russian and Church Slavonic, Lomonosov argues can be combined in three styles, according to the loftiness of the writer's goals: the first, "high" style is used for tragedies, odes and elegies, should include more Slavonicsims; the second, "middle" style, consisting of an equal mix of Russian and Slavonic, should be used for drama, correspondence, and satire; and the third, "low" style includes mostly Russian words and exists for comedies, epigrams and everyday speech. This understanding of style proved extremely influential in the development of the poetic tradition in Russia.

  17. The role of M.V. Lomonosov in the literature His literary works remain one of the most significant pages of Russian literature in the 18 th century. He wrote verses, odes and poems.
