DISCURSIVE INTERPRETATION OF POETIC TEXT AND ITS INFORMATIONAL CONTENT

Abstract

This article explores the discursive interpretation of poetic texts and their informational content within the framework of modern anthropocentric linguistics. Drawing on pragmalinguistics, cognitive linguistics, and intercultural pragmatics, the study examines the communicative and pragmatic features of poetic discourse. Particular attention is paid to non-canonical speech situations, internal and external addressivity, multi-referential correlation, and the concept of the poetic linguistic personality. Wilfred Owen’s elegy “Futility” is analyzed as an illustrative example. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of poetic discourse as a complex cognitive-pragmatic phenomenon.
