The connection between traditional literary methods and psychological science has long been of interest to researchers, particularly the problem of interaction of poetics as a ,science of artistry with psycholinguistics is especially relevant. The prospects of this approach are explained by the fact that language as the main building material of literature is an act of mental activity. The purpose of this paper is to substantiate the synergetic effect of the interaction of receptive poetics and psycholinguistics in the study of the literary text artistry. The depiction of the expressive system of Pavlo Tychyna’s landscape miniature The Rain has been done by way of studying the recipient‘s psychology of text perception. In the poetic text, many techniques have been identified that evoke figurative representations in the recipient’s mind, thus forming a complete visual picture. It has been analyzed how the picture of rain gradually emerges in the reader’s imagination: from the first drops to the strengthening and subsidence, ending with a cathartic state. It has been observed how figurative representations generate the accordant emotional states. The particular attention is paid to the functionality of the tool termed as the principle of the reverse funnel. The analysis of P. Tychyna’s poem The Rain with the use of the tools both of receptive poetics and psycholinguistics has demonstrated high efficiency of such a binary approach, thus confirming its promising perspectives in contemporary philological research.
