Abstrakt. In the article attention is paid to numerical markers in lyrics. Folk comprehension of numerical matrix is an order, moving from chaos to the space. Counting as a compositional device is a key function — it is a reproduction of sequence, development and process dynamics. A model dominates, in which separation of an individual from a wide range. Semantics and symbolism of numerical images that are used as an artistic device (a quantitative hyperbole) are studied.

Keywords: folk numerology, numerical markers, symbolism, semantics and artistic device.
