IMPLICATIVE SPACE EXPLORATION ON THE TEXT LEVEL OF THE AMERICAN VERSE OF THE XX CENTURY

Abstract

This article focuses on revealing linguistic and cognitive properties of the formation of the implicative space of American poetic texts of the XX century. The study provides an inferential analysis of indicators of the implicit senses. The role and place of the components of implicit senses are defined according to the quality and quantity of their indicators. Stylistically marked units of poetic texts are considered as indicators of implicates. It is proved that the dominant means in the formation of implicates on the textual level are analogical and contrastive types of mapping. The integrative model of the implicative space grounds on the mechanisms employed in the formation of its components on different levels of a poetic text. This model helps to define linguistic and cognitive aspects of construing the reality in the American modernist and postmodernist poetic texts.
