Сравнительно-исторический метод и историческая поэтика

The comparative-historical method in philological research of poetics involves comparing related forms, reconstructing proto-forms, establishing phonetic and morphological correspondences, identifying regularities in sound changes, and analyzing analogies and borrowings. It aims to reconstruct historical stages of poetic practices, chronologically classify genres, trace the evolution of metrics, motifs, and stylistic techniques, and distinguish archaisms from innovations
