The author offers a brief digression into the history of the study of impersonal sentences with particular focus on the significant role of M. I. Pigin in the analysis of negative impersonal sentences. The poetic texts of Mikhail Lomonosov are ana- lyzed for the presence of impersonal negative constructions with the use of The Syntactic Dictionary of Russian Poetry of the XVIII Century. The relevance of the study is due to the lack of knowledge of the relationship between syntactic structures and the poetic language of the eighteen-century poetic contexts. The conclusions concern the structural and typological, semantic, and rhetorical diversity of those Lomonosov’s poetic contexts that include negative impersonal constructions. The obtained results can be used in linguo-poetic comparative studies aimed at investigating the poetic syntax and rhetorical devices of Lomonosov’s predecessors, contemporaries, and followers.
